Book Reviews of Number the Stars
Book Review: Number the Stars
Summary: 5 Stars
The book Number the Stars by Lois Lowery is the best book I have ever read. There are two main characters. The first character is Annemarie. She is a Danish girl from Denmark. Ellen is the next main character. She is a Jew that has to pretend she's not.
When the book starts Annemarie and Ellen are racing. But then a German soldier stops them. Both girls were very afraid. They were not only afraid of the gun pointing but the fact that Ellen was a Jew. The soldier asked them questions and told them to go home. Then Annemarie went home and told her mom what happened. A few days later the soldiers were taking all the Jews of Denmark. Peter took Ellen's parents to safety. Ellen had to stay at Annemarie's house for her own safety. That same day the soldiers came to Annemarie's house to check if they were hiding any Jews. Will Ellen get caught and get sent away? Will she ever see her parents again? You'll have to read the book to find out read the book.

Summary of Number the Stars
Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated". Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life. An ALA Notable Book. A "School Library Journal" Best Book of the Year. Teacher's Guide. BDD Online-Teacher's Resource Center.The evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held Denmark is one of the great untold stories of World War II. On September 29, 1943, word got out in Denmark that Jews were to be detained and then sent to the death camps. Within hours the Danish resistance, population and police arranged a small flotilla to herd 7,000 Jews to Sweden. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account to bring this courageous tale to life. She brings the experience to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Annemarie Johannesen, whose family harbors her best friend, Ellen Rosen, on the eve of the round-up and helps smuggles Ellen's family out of the country. Number the Stars won the 1990 Newbery Medal.
