Number the Stars

This book may be about war; however to me it is focused around the friendship of Annemarie and Ellen.
You have to read this book perfect for people ages 10+ (as it has a sad ending, and is better for an older group of kids).
This is my ABSOULUTE FAVORITE BOOK!

Number The Stars is a heartening tale of the solidarity and love shared by a country and her countrymen, even whereby divergent religions could cause no fault. It is a tale woven with endearing and inspiring characters, written in a simple yet poignant manner, by one of the most affecting Young-Adult Fiction writers of our time. Lowry is a master in the art of the subtle details that invoke elaborate and griping visualizations. The prose is ever engaging as the depictions of beautiful scenery are juxtaposed by brutal content, as is unconditional love of man by another's opportunistic hatred, and innate kindness by enforced cruelty.

Through our protagonist, Annemarie, we are met with candid innocence, as with her admiration of Sweden among other things, she is always hopeful and virtuously in search of freedom. In a child who is courageous enough to admit and face her fears, we learn the true meaning of bravery and what it means personally and as a whole.

This moving piece of fiction is one part, history lesson, and two parts, a lesson in humanity, and I encourage all tweens, teens and adults that haven't had the opportunity to read it to lend themselves to its splendor.

Hi there,

This is a great book that children will adore (grade Six of course)

This was maybe the greatest book ive ever read.Althou it was the sadest book ive ever read too.The ending is preety sad.

I usually don't enjoy books that center around the Germans vs. the Jews. However this book is so much more than that. I first read it in grade five, and countless times since then. This is a classic and definitely one of a kind!

2 Words. Historical Fiction. It sounds boring, but after reading the book, I really got a better understanding of the germans vs. the jews. It can be very interesting! Although, there are some parts that drags on, other than that, pure greatness!!!!

well. I absolutely loved this book because i love denmark. i have been there once in my life and loved it! this book was just fabulous and i hope you keep writing more books about GIRLS in DENMARK!!!!!!!!!! thanks soo much, and please show my review under the place where it shows the other reviews! thanks so much again! I really love that you are showing others about how good most danish people are, and how much much they helped jews during the war, and how loyal the Danes are!!

This book tells you about the courage and bravery of all the people of Denmark. Its teaches you of the tradgedys of how the Jewish people who suffered during the war because of what they believed in.

I really thought that this book was very well written.When i had to do it for my Novel study i choose this book cause i thought that it was interesting and very realistic based on its historical facts.Very well done !

this book is about kids who r in the war in den mark. it is cool me and my freind read it . we did not stop talking about.

IT IS ASOME

Your book was unbelievable! I am a student of Hebrew Foundation School (In Montreal) and we're reading this book. Since I'm Jewish,it has a lot of impact on me. I loved your book, good job!

This book is one of my favorites, I haven't read much...yet but I will soon. My Cousin and I, read this book on the same year, and we both liked the book. I had trouble remembering the title of the book, but when I woke up this morning, I rememberd the title, and the authour!!. That's pretty much why I'm writing this...well and that no one is on msn right now. Well I guess that I should be going. Good-Bye, and I hope that you read this book!

I loved Anne-marie, i loved her family, i love the way the book was written, i love lise, i love the whole concept of the book. lois lowry is the greatest!!!

I think this book was a little bit confusing at first but it is really touching!

The book Number The Stars is a great book to read. You learn a lot on how jewish people were treated during the second World War. This book has a lot of history in it and has touched me a lot.

I loved this book, I just wanted to know if Ellen and her family got home safe and sound. But I would definitely recommend this book!!!!

This has become a favorite in my grade 3 class to read to the class. It generates discussions and works well in drama. Students do not want me to put the book down.

I decided to read this book because I had read the Giver and loved it.Any way this book Number the Stars was steller. It's consept of the war and how the Nazis treated the jews is excellent.With Anmaire's adventures you are bound to love this book!

it was VERY interesting and i couldn't put it down!

I recommend this book to anyone who likes history and loyalty. My teacher is reading this book to us in class. I'm liking it so much I went to chapters on line to see how much it was! It's the best book
