Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry

Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry, is a fictional book set during the Holocaust of World War II. Annemarie Johansen, a 10-year-old girl living in Denmark, faces a life filled with merciless Nazis prowling the streets of Copenhagen. She struggles for survival with her family and her Jewish friend. This book shows what a little girl can do in times of war and that a simple task can mean a lot. This book is very interesting, and it is also filled with suspense that kept me flipping each page faster and faster. I really enjoyed reading this book, it is one of my favorites. I recommend it to everyone, especially to those who are interested in historical fiction. - Reviewed by C., grade 9. .
