Product Description:
This Newbery Medal Book describes how a ten-year-old Danish girl's bravery is tested when her best friend is threatened by Nazis in 1943.
Amazon.com Review:
The evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held Denmark is one of the great untold stories of World War II. On September 29, 1943, word got out in Denmark that Jews were to be detained and then sent to the death camps. Within hours the Danish resistance, population and police arranged a small flotilla to herd 7,000 Jews to Sweden. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account to bring this courageous tale to life. She brings the experience to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Annemarie Johannesen, whose family harbors her best friend, Ellen Rosen, on the eve of the round-up and helps smuggles Ellen's family out of the country. Number the Stars won the 1990 Newbery Medal.

Rating:  - experience the true horror
This book is very well-written. I read this book in 8th grade and many times after that. When you read this book you feel like as if your experienceing the struggle. A very good book.

As a kid reading this book, I was overwhelmed. It was entertaining, dramatic. I was overcome and learned religious tolerance, compassion, and other great emotions for a child to learn. Incredible introduction to WWII/Holocaust.

Rating:  - An Enjoyable Book
While the book is mostly fiction, it is based on historic events, and whether you like to read about this period in history, or just enjoy short stories, this is a fun book to read. It's not the most exciting book on the subject out there, but the story is easy to follow and the characters are relatively well developed.
I especially enjoyed the authors' afterword, where she explains which parts of the story were fact and fiction, as it helps the reader consider the events and historical ... Read More
