Book Reviews of Number the Stars

An amazing book about Jews, the Holocaust, and the friendship that survived it. Loved it!

My daughter liked the book, but at the end of the book the Lord's name was taken in vain. She did enjoy the history of WWII within the book.

even though this is a book for younger paople, there are interesting historical points in it. Avery quick read.

Good book for younger readers about the Holocaust. I read it in elementary school... a few years ago.

One of my favorite books. I have read this book several times. The main character is not Jewish, but her best friend is and it's about how the main character's family protects her friend's Jewish family during the WWII Nazi regime. A great book for a young reader or adult. Highly recommend. Surprised this one hasn't been made into a movie yet.

Newbery Award Winner 1989. Thought provoking story. Well characterized people recognizable by today's readers. WWII story set in Nazi occupied Copenhagen. Many of the problems are ones faced today.

This is a wonderful book about the Jews and the Nazis! It's so much better than the movie!!

Newbery winner. Reading level is 5.2.
Story of a 10-year old danish jewish girl in hiding during WWII.

Wonderful story for adults and kids to read together -- it tells the story of the courage of the Danish people during the Nazi era.

I enjoyed this book because I like books about the Holocaust and World War II. I thought it portrayed the plight of a young girl very well, and was an interesting story.

My 8th grader read this book and learned alot from it. She really felt for the characters.

My daughter read this book. She says it was an excellent book. She felt it was informational. Full of drama. Very Cool.

The 1990 Newbery Award Medal winner for children's literature. Set in Copenhagen at the time of the Nazi invasion, the Jews are being relocated. The main characters, two young girls, are in life-threatening danger. Can Annemarie save her Jewish friend's life?

A moving, inspiring story that kept me on the edge of my seat. Every school child should read this story about life for the Jews in Denmark under Nazi rule in 1943. It would give them a real appreciation for their life here today!

I loved this book!

Good book, has a nice plot to it.

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
