Finally read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry which I have long wanted to read. Yes, it is a children's book but a very good one. I was so pleased to learn what happened to the Danes during WWII. What wonderful, brave people they were to save so many of their Jewish people in such skillful ways. Lowry bases the story on real incidents and her characters on those brave souls she read about as she did her research for this book. This is a must read for teens and adults alike.
