Hello everybody!
Today I'm reviewing the historical fiction book, Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry.
Number the Stars is set during World War 2 in Copenhagen. Annemarie Johansen is ten years old and lives with her family. Her best friend and neighbor is a Jew, Ellen Rosen. She has a younger sister, Kirsti, but she had an older sister, Lise, who died shortly before her wedding.
There are Nazis on every street corner, and soon, it is found out that the Nazis want to relocate Jews elsewhere. Ellen and her family are Jews, and Ellen's parents flee with Peter, Lise's fiance. Ellen must stay with Annemarie's family.
The story is about Ellen and her family fleeing the Germans, and while I really like the book, I would have liked to know what happened later to the Rosens and Annemarie's family, but that as left to the imagination.
The book was interesting and easy to read in one sitting. It is absorbing and meaningful, the language is clear and easy to read. I loved the historical aspect of the book, and it was this book that got me very interested in the events of World War 2.
All the characters in the book, especially Annemarie's family is very brave and I thought that they were very strong and stood up for what they believed in and helped people get away with their lives.
Number the Stars has won the Newbery Medal.
Lois Lowry is an American author who has written over thirty books, including the Giver quartet, which I have reviewed already, Anastasia Krupnik, and many more.
I recommend Number the Stars for anyone who loves history, and for ages 9 and above.
