Answer: Liesel's reaction when she finds a few pages of the book Max is working on in the basement was surprise.

Step-by-step explanation:

To learn more about Max, who is hiding from the Nazis in her home, Liesel is initially drawn to the basement. She is enthralled by Max's narrative and artistic expression as soon as she comes across the pages of his book, "The Word Shaker," on the floor. For Liesel and Max, the book acts as an escape from their difficult and perilous circumstances.

A symbolic book within "The Book Thief," "The Word Shaker" contains deeper-than-obvious symbolism in its pictures. In contrast to the divisive power of words used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the book's illustrations show a girl who utilizes words construct and spread beauty and hope.
