Number the Stars - Book Review

Number the Stars
By: Lois Lowry

Summary: Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend, Ellen Rosen, often think about life before the war. But it's now 1943, and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching in their town. The Nazis won't stop. The Jews of Denmark are being "relocated," so Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be part of the family. Then Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission. Somehow she must find the strength and courage to save her best friend's life. There's no turning back now.  (Summary provided by Bookshare.org)

Favorite Character: My favorite character would have to be Annemarie Johansen, because she was so brave for being so young.

Favorite Scene: My favorite scene would have to be the beginning of the story when she is running to her uncles boat with the cheese and bread. 

I give this book a Thumbs Up because it had a really good story line and was about a real time in history.
