Product Description

Review
'...a decent, brave and likeable heroine who is caught by accident in harsh political affairs. Number the Stars is a simple, but effective tale.' TES

Product Description
A powerful story set in Nazi occupied Denmark in 1943. Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen is called upon for a selfless act of bravery to help save her best-friend, Ellen -- a Jew. It is 1943 and for ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen life is still fun -- school, family, sharing fairy stories with her little sister. But there are dangers and worries too -- the Nazis have occupied Copenhagen and there are food shortages, curfews and the constant threat of being stopped by soldiers. And for Annemarie the dangers become even greater...her best-friend Ellen is a Jew. When Ellen's parents are taken away to be 'relocated' by the Nazis, Ellen is taken in by Annemarie's parents and suddenly Annemarie's family are under threat too. Annemarie has to call upon all her resources for courage and bravery as she helps her friend make a daring escape. A Newbery Medal winner by an acclaimed author *For readers from 8 to 12 *

5.0 out of 5 stars Number the Stars, 6 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Number the Stars (School & Library Binding)
I found this book truly moving and have read it again and again as a child and an adult. Lowry deals with the subject of bravery at different levels in a way that is easy to grasp and her characters are easy to identify with giving the book more depth. She deals with a very serious subject without being melodramatic and writes a fantastic explanation at the end of the book explaining how much is fact and how much is fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grippinng story during wartime Poland, 19 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I thought this book was excellent because it was very vivid in details about Poland during the second world war. Also it was different than most second world war books because it didn't just focus on the Jews it described what it was like to hide a Jewish girl from the Nazis.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book, 1 Mar 2007
This is the best book that I have read for a VERY long time. It made me cry A LOT. Although it is short and that gives the idea that it is for little children, and the characters are young, I do not think that it is for children under about 11. I really enjoyed this book
