Summary: Great book!
Review: "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry is one of my favorite books. I read it way back in elementary school, and even now, I still enjoy reading the book.The story starts out in the capital city of Copenhagen in the small, European country of Denmark. It is during World War II and the holocaust in Western Europe. At this time, Denmark has a peaceful diplomatic stance with the Nazis, but they still occupied most of the country. The city had changed quite a lot before the war. Treats like butter and candy were nearly nonexistant, and of course, the omnipresent Nazi soldiers, who stood at every stree tin shiny black boots holding long, German guns. The war has become a way of life for Annemarie Johansen, a young girl who lives in an apartment with her mother, father, and her little sister Kirsit. In the same apartment lives Ellen Rosen and her parents, who are good friends to the Johansens. The families are a like in many different ways, except for one thing-the Rosen are Jewish. And at the time, that meant a lot. When Annemarie finds out the the Nazis are searching out and taking away all the Jews in Denamrk, she is worried about her best friend. The two families deicde that Ellen should stay with the Johansens, and that Ellen's paretns should leave where they'd all be safe. The story continues on, with lot sof adventure, and some truly thrilling scenes. If you enjoy an easy-read, this book is great. Not only is a wonderful to read, but it does teach you some helpful information on the public's views of the Nazi occupation and placement of the Jews.

Summary: What it was like back then.
Review: I liked the book Number of the Stars. I thought that the book was interesting. The book took place in World War 2. The two main characters are Annemarie and Ellen. Annemarie is a Danish girl that is twelve. Ellen is a Jewish girl that is twelve years old. The best part was when Annemarie was stoped by the Yatzi with the hankerchief.

Summary: Hate doesn't just hurt someone, it kills them.
Review: The bravery and courage of the young girl Ann Marie help me remember the cruel times when Hitler took over. When Denmark was taken over by the Nazis, they started killing Jewish people. Many risk their lives to help them. I like how the book made it clear. Friendship is important of every day life. Being brave is likely to being loyal to someone who needs help when they need it. The details of hardship and hardwork that the Jewish people had to do to escape from the cruel things Hitler was doing made me relieze that everyday there is something going on to this world that need to stop. This book is a great example that hate just doesn't hurt one person, it kills a lot of people. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Best book ever read.
Review: I really like this book, Number the Stars. I like to learn more about Jewish people and how they lived back then. Also it is very interesting yet horrorfying to hear what the Nazis did. At some parts of the book when they gave details about the book I cried. This is a very emotional book, but is also very good.

Summary: Very Good!
Review: I forced myself to read "Number the Stars". At first I had no idea what it was aboutbut I figured it out. Two girls are best friends are during World War II. One of them happens to be Jewish. Hitler is after the Jew (Ellen). It is interesting to see what the Lutheran child's (Annemarie) parents do to keep Ellen safe. I also saw the play. It was moving and interesting and touching. You should read it!

Summary: Book Review
Review: Number the Stars is an accurate book about the Holocaust with many strong values. In the book the protagonist named Annmarie has a Jewish best friend named Ellen. Annmarie's family is friends with Ellen's family. When the Holocaust starts, Ellen's family becomes endangered. Annmarie and her family try to keep them away from the Nazis until they can be smuggled to Sweden. They are about ready to leave when a problem occurs that only Annmarie can fix. Can Annmarie save them before the Nazis find them? This book is about rescuers. Annmarie is a rescuer because she risks her life to save her friend in danger when she has the option to just ignore the dangers such as having the Nazis pursue her and kill her family. Annmarie doesn't think she is doing anything special, that she is just doing what any reasonable person would do. Annmarie would have not have been in any danger if she had just decided to do nothing but she did any way. This book is important to read because it tells about horrible yet very real things, like the Holocaust, and brave people, like Annmarie. It is important to know about things like the Holocaust because the more we know the less likly it is for something like it to happen. It shows important values like courage and caring. I recommend this book because it teaches and informs but is not boring.
