One of the few Holocaust book I've read featuring the perspective of a child who is not Jewish herself. The heroine must try to understand the violence happening all around her while at the same time help her family to protect the persecuted. Like all of Lowry's books, Number of the Stars is subtle yet deeply meaningful.
