In the book, a ten-year-old girl named Annemarie and her family helps a family escape from Denmark, which is under Nazi rule at the time, to Sweden, which is free. The do so by crossing the sea in Annemarie's uncle's boat. The escapees would hide in the boat where the human eye cannot see them. Incase of a dog, Annemarie's uncle had a handkerchief that temporarily disabled the dogs sense of smell. But on the way to the boat, a man dropped the handkerchief while leaving the house. Annemarie found it and had to rush to the boat and avoid Nazi's along the way.

Review: Number The Stars is a very good book wrighten by Lois Lowry.
This is a very good and interesting book about World War Two and what the German's did to the Jews, and how Hitles wanted to eliminate all Jews. German Solders are on every corner to watch and control everything the people would do. The book took place in Denmark. Some of the main characters are Annemarie Johansen, a ten year old girl, that is growing up at the time of the war in 1943.
Annemarie's best friend was a Jew, the solders came to the room and ...... read Number The Stars by Lois Lowry to find out what happens.

Summary: number the stars
Review: The story is about a young girl in her family hiding from the Nazi's. The main characters were Ann-Marie, Ellen and her whole family. Ann-Marie and Ellen visit her uncle's house. They ran into alot of problems because when they took the bus ride to they uncle's house the soliders stop the bus to search the bus for people arrest. The soliders were looking for Jews to arrest, because Hitler ordreed the soliders to kill all the Jews.

In my opinion the book was great. It taught me about Jews back then and how the Jews were treated wrong. Ihave a favorite part of the book but. I don't like how they were getting treated. My favorite was when they went to her uncle's house and they got stopped on the bus by soliders. I thought that they were going to get arrested. I would like to change when the Jews were hiding. I also would have change how the Jews were treated and how they had to die.

I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn about how the Jews were treated. I think the type of person who would like this book would be people who like to read, people thats are excioted about books like this.

Summary: Number the Stars
Review: I liked this book because it is very detailed and descriptive. Lois Lowry wrote this book very well, and I am thinking of doing a play on Number the Stars. I've been studying the book in school and I love it. How could Lois Lowry make it better? She could make it have more excitment put into it... and the Nazis could have made more nervousness in the Johansen house-hold. Otherwise, it holds terrific literature and voice.-Shoshana

Summary: Number the stars
Review: The book was about, these two families the Rosans and Johansons live right next

to each other in apartments. They both have kids, and Ellen and Annamarie are best

friends and are both the same age. The Rosans are Jews and this was during 1941,

when Hitler was dictator of Germany. All the Jews were suppose to be put in the

concentration camps. Since the Rosans and Johansons are good friends, they

decided that Ellen could come and live with them until they find a place to hide. So

Annamarie and her little sister Krysti and Ellen and Annamarie's mother, Inge, decided

that all four of them would go to live at Inge's brothers house, Uncle Henrick.

They get there and they made themself's at home and help out around the house. A

Couple of days later, Annamarie's mother and Mr. Henrick tell all them that aunt Birte

has died and they have to set up a casket for her in the living room and people are going

to come over that night. So Annamarie gets suspicious and thinks about what her mother

and her uncle Henrick had just told her, and doesn't remember even knowing an

aunt Birte. So she goes to the barn were uncle Henrick is and talks to him about it, and he

tells her that they were lying about it but he couldn't tell her any more then that. Then,

night comes and people start gathering around the living room surrounding the casket,

including the rest of Ellen's family. After about an hour, they hear something outside

which is the police. So the police come in there house and ask what's going on, they

tell them, so they leave after about 10 minutes. Then Inge opens the casket and everyone

sees a whole bunch of clothes, and they pass them out to everyone. Then Mrs. Johanson

and Peter, a guy helping them hide, and some other people, take them to Mr. Henrick's

boat where they were going to be hiding.

Summary: How would you handel this situation??
Review: Running for your life at only 10 years old! Annemarie has to run and hide from the Nazi's. Number The Stars by Louis Lowery is a very emotional and touching book! Annemarie and her family are in a sticky situation by helping their friends, the Rosens, escape to Sweden. They are escaping because the Rosens are Jewish. I am a historian at heart and since this book deals with the events of WWII I find it highlly interesting. I recommend this book for young and old adults.
