Summary: NL-S Approved Book
Review: Lois Lowry's book, Number the Stars, is the second best book about the Holocaust that I have ever read. This book is about Annemarie Johansen's family trying to help Ellen Rosen's family get away from the German Nazis. On the way to her uncle's boat, Annemarie is stopped by two Nazis and is late to deliver a special package. The Rosens are brought safely to Sweden where they could live without having to worry about the Nazis.

I relate to Ellen Rosen in several ways. One way is that I am part Jewish and my family went through the Holocaust. Annnemarie's family helped them to escape to freedom and some family helped mine escape. Another way I relate to Ellen is that by the description of her personality and ways, we are kind of the same.

I felt this book helped me to see what was actually happening during the Holocaust. I have read this book many times other the last several years of my life, realizing more and more what actually happened. The way Lois describes the setting really helps you visualize the scenes. She describes her scenes with easy understandable words and life like similes. I recommend this book to teenagers but anyone could read it because it is easy to understand and easy to follow. If you like books on the history of the world, read this book because it is a very good reference to the Holocaust.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Book!
Review: +AH4-This book really fits the mood for World War II. Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen might just be different as night and day - Annemarie is Christian and Ellen is Jewish - but that is an important part in this book. Annemarie has some hardships of her own - including the fact her older sister Lise, part of the Resistance, was killed. Yet one day spending the day with the Johansens' turns into one long night when Ellen sleeps over and nearly ends up caught, if it isn't for the+AH4-+AH4- craftiness of Annemarie's father's baby pictures. The Johansens then find out that the only way to keep Ellen safe is to take her to Annemarie's Uncle Hendrik's in Sweden. This is an exciting, wonderful, funny, serious book, that even if you aren't Jewish, you really will feel as if you are there, whether Annemarie or Ellen themselves, or just a minor character - looking up to a wonderful book+AH4-

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Anne Frank but put in a kids book
Review: I think this book is powerful. Any jewish or non-jewish kid should read this. I read it in 6th grade and I'm in 8th now. This book makes me think about how life would be if this happened in America. Lois Lowry is a great writer and I love reading her books. I recomend her book Autumn Street.

Rating: 5 stars
