Summary: Book Review of Number the Stars by Louise Lowry
Review: I thought that Number the Stars was a wonderful and intriging book. The book allows the reader to see what a young girl thought and felt about what was going on during the Nazi's invasion of Denmark. The author uses language that allows the reader to feel what a young girl may have been feeling at this time.
I was very impressed with the way that the author uses the theme of pride. Pride is represented in a number of different ways. The author illustrates that everyone has pride. She illustrates that the Jewish people have pride, the King has pride, and all the people of Denmark have pride.
The story also illustrates bravery. Bravery is shown by so many people in this story. The author shows the reader that all of the people in Denmark needed to brave. It also ilustrates that sometimes people do not have the choice to be brave, it is the way of life.
This book also illustrate friendship. The author creates a special bond that is shared between two young girls. Friendship is shown on two levels. The book illustrates the friendship between the two girls and the friendship between the parents. It illustrates that sometime people are willing to risk thier lives for thier friends. It illustrates the position that people were put in. It shows the will of the people, people will risk their lives for the saftey of others. People are willing to endure many hardship in order to save other people and do the right thing.
The book also illustrates that age made no difference during this time. Peter and Lise were young and died while fighting for the freedom of others. Annamarie's parents were also brave. The young girls also had to endure and survive the terrible treatment.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: A touching book
Review: Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is a wonderful book. It takes place in Denmark, Germany. It is during the time of the Haulocast,when Hitler ruled. The main characters are best friends, Annemarie Johansen, and Ellen Rosen. Ellen is Jewish, and the officers find out, and they want to take her away. Annemarie being a loyal friend, takes Ellen into her home and hides her.
The story is very touching, and has major historical significance. It goes through life during the Haulocast, through a child's eyes. When I read it, I had a better understanding of what happened then, and what life was like being a Jew, being sent to concentration camps, or witnessing what had happened. If you are interested in history of the Haulocast, and to see different point of views, read Number the Stars!

Summary: One of the Best Books I've ever read.
Review: This story is about a ten-year-old girl named Annemarie Johhansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen and how the Johhansans's hide Ellen. The story takes place in Denmark during world war two.
Annemarie is used to seeing soldiers standing on the corners of the streets. She isn't scared of them. But one day the soldiers stop them and question them. Ellen's a Jew she's in danger of being taken to a concentration camp. So Ellen went to stay at the Johhansen's and pretended to be a family member. One night the soldiers search the house they get suspicious when they see Ellen's dark hair because everyone else has blond.
Mrs. Johhansen takes the three girls, Annemarie, Ellen, and Kristi Annemarie's little sister, to Annemarie's uncle Hendrik's after they stay there for a while Ellen rides on a ship to Sweden with her family because Sweden is a free country. And two years later world war two ended.
The author of this Newberry award book is Lois Lowry. She was a young girl growing up during world war two. Annemarie Johansan is based on the author's real life best friend, Annelise
This book was an extremely good book. And I think I'll read more books by this author. I think children who like history would especially like this book. My mom thought this book might be to upsetting for me but I thought it was a great book. I feel so angry towards the Nazis because the Jews didn't do anything to be sent to concentration camp. I learned from this book that there are some evil people in this world and we should teach them to be kind.

Summary: Excellent story of friendship and bravery
Review: This book was about a young girl named Annemarie Johansen who lived in Germany during the time when the Nazi's were in power. Ellen Rosen was a Jewish friend of Annemarie's and when the time came for her family to flee Denmark for fear that the Nazi's would drag them out of their homes and to concentration camps. Ellen stayed with Annemarie and her family so her parents to go on and find a safe place to live. The idea behind this plan was that if the Nazi's questioned the Johansen's about Ellen then could reply that she was their daughter Lise, who had actually died years earlier. With the help of Peter, Lise's boyfriend, who was in the Resistance the Rosen's and other Denmark Jews safely made their way to Sweden. The Johansen's risk a great deal trying to save their friends and the others. When an essential package containing a handkerchief sprayed with a mixture designed to temporarily damage Nazi search dogs' sense of smell is accidentally dropped during the escape to the fishing boat. This would allow the Jews to hide safely under the fishing boat deck and not have the dogs sniff them out. Annemarie takes the dangerous job of delivering it to the boat before her friend and family are discovered and killed by the Nazi's.
I loved this book. I thought that it was a great story of a young girl and her bravery, friendship and determination in a time of horror. Lewis Lowery did an excellent job creating this scenario. These two main characters were perfectly realistic. It was nice also because rather than reading a terribly sad ending this one was realistically happy. The happiness at the end when the small boat of Jews arrived safely in Sweden and how Annemarie looked forward to being able to see her friend again when Nazi's power diminished.
