Summary: Don't Judge a book By its Cover
Review: 11 years old. I loved this book. one day my mom told me to get Number the Stars for summer reading i justed looked @ the cover and said no I don't want that book. Then during that school year we had to read it. After I read it I wished I listened to my mom. It was really sad, i cried. It shows what a tru friend would do during hard times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: put me in awe
Review: I think this book was simply amazing. It really taught me the true meaning of friendship, and how the Nazis couldn't break that bond. Yes, they had the power to kill innocent jews, for no good reason.Yes, they had their uniforms, guns, and shining boots to show. But they can't stop the many brave civilians willing to do whatever they can to put a stop to this nonsense. I learned that Jewish or not,people were bravely daring to help however they could. Consider that if they were caught, they could be put to death.Though their fears of what could happen were smothered by bravery. Annemarie, her family, and any person in the Danish Resistance had an unlimited amount of bravery, courage, and the common courtesy to even help the unfamiliar and stop the prejudice.

Summary: Number the Stars
Review: I got to read the book by my cousin because she introduced the book to me and after I read the book, I thought that it was the most greatest and interesting book I have ever read.
The book was about two girls named AnneMarie and Ellen Rosen and her family was Jewish and this was during the Holocaust, so when Ellen's parents went to hide in a safer country, Ellen went to go live with AnneMarie and her family and disguised herself as AnneMarie's other sister, who died long ago. It took place in Denmark during the 1940s. The Holocaust made all the Jewish people run away and hide from the Nazis and those who were captured were killed.
I liked the book because it had alot of meaning to me. I read the book over and over because I thought that it was a marvelous and faboluous book. I recommend this book to everyone because it teaches you what life was back then and what two friends meant to each other.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I loved this book, featuring a young blond girl who hides her best friend Ellen in her house. They then travel to her uncle henry's where she and other Jews are taken to Sweden on her uncle's fishing boat. This book describes the hardships the people in Denmark went through during WW2. It demonstrates the courage and responsibility every member of the resistance has to take. I've never met a person who didn't like this book. I personally have read it 7 times. If you liked this book, be sure to read "Enchantress from the Stars".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful book!
Review: I first read "Number the Stars" in 5th grade and I was hooked on learning about the Holocaust ever since. This book is told wonderfully and is a good book for a beginner learner of the Holocaust. It tells about the Holocaust, but also about what happened to Jewish people outside of the concentration camps. A fantastic book - I recommend!

Summary: Number the stars
Review: This book was very exciting. This book is about the war aginst Jews and how Annemarie Johansen saves her best friend that is a Jew and has got her parents taken away. She hinds her so that they dont take her away, and who knows what will happen to her. The person who wrote this [Lois Lowry]mush have felt bad about the war.They did not have to hid her they pertend she was the sister.I had a good time reading this book. At first i did not like it but then i really got into it. I could not understand it at first.Her best friend Ellen must have really had a hard time.A summery of the book is a friend helps her friend hid from the soldiers but she also got her parets taken away. they hid many times but the war finally ended and it all stopped.
