Summary: Amazon Customer
Review: This book is about a young girl named Annemarie, her family and their role in helping Jewish families escape the Germans during World War II. The Nazi soldiers invaded and took control of Denmark and its Danes. Ellen is Annemarie's best friend and is Jewish. Ellen and her family, the Rosen's, must leave Denmark to go to Sweden where will be safe from the Nazi soldiers. Ellen is told to stay the night with the Johansen family once all of the Jewish citizen find out that the Germany have a list with their names on it and where they live. During this stay the soldiers come to the apartment complex where the Johansen and Rosen families live. The soldiers see that no one is living in the Rosen's apartment so they knock on the Johansen family's door wanting to know where the Rosen family has gone. While in the apartment the soldiers go into the room where Annemarie and Ellen are sleeping. Ellen pretends to be Annemarie's sister so that the soldiers will not catch onto what is going on. Annemarie ripped the necklace that Ellen wore, with the "Star of David", from her neck so that the German soldiers wouldn't think that she is Jewish. In order for the Rosen family to be safe they needed the help of Annemarie's Uncle Henrik. Uncle Henrik, was the captain of the boat in which the Rosen family and many other Jewish families were hidden from the German soldiers. I would recommend this book to everyone young and old! It is written with a great deal of suspence. Once I began the book I could not put it down!

Summary: This is a great book for you to read!
Review: Dear readers,
If you've been looking for a good book to read lately, you have to read Number The Stars. I hated The Giver (a book by the same author), but somehow I love this book! I also recomend this to any teacher that's looking for a book to read to thier class around this time period.

Summary: Wonderful story on a provocative subject.
Review: Number the Stars is a story of friendship, bravery and loyalty. Set in Denmark in 1943, this is the story ten-year-old best friends, Annemarie Johansen and Ellen Rosen. When Hitler's army begins to "relocate" Denmark's Jews, Annemarie and her family help Ellen and her family escape to Sweden. Annemarie learns the true meaning of bravery and friendship. This story was based upon experiences of Lowry's friend, Annelise Platt, and tells a poignant story of the role the Danish Resistance played in saving the lives of almost all of Denmark's Jews. This is a wonderful story that helps children begin to understand the feelings and plight of the Jews during World War II. Anxious moments are spent by the reader whenever the soldiers appear to confront the characters of the story. Annemarie displays true bravery and considerable intelligence in the face of the danger presented by soldiers. Parents and teachers can feel comfortable using Number the Stars, to begin a discussion of horrors of the holocaust, at the fourth or fifth grade level. The book can be used to teach not only history and language arts, but also geography and social relationships.

Summary: Lowry Makes History Personal
Review: Review
The early 1940's were a terrifying time for people of the Jewish faith. The Nazis had invaded Denmark and decided that all the Jews "must go". Many Jews fled the country in order to escape persecution. This book does a great job of personalizing this horrific event in history. It is also a great resource for teachers who want to bring history to life for their students.Lowry does a brilliant job of conveying the true meaning of trust and friendship. We recommend this book to all teachers for grades 5-8. Resources
1) Number the Stars
2) "The Diary of Anne Frank"
3) World Book Encyclopedia
4) Danish Cookbook
5) 5th grade science books
