As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, 10-year-old Annemarie Johansens's family takes in annemaries' best friend, Ellen Roxen, and pretend she is part of the family. Ellen and Annemarie must htink quickly when three Nazi officers arrive late one night and question why Ellen is not blond, like her sisters. Through Annemaries' eyes, we see the Danish Resistance as they manage to smuggle almost the entire Jewish population, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. In this tale of an entire nation's heroism, Lois Lowry reminds us that there is pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.

This book is about girl named Annemarie that helps her friend Ellen a jewish in the Nazi time period who helps her and other jew to Sweeden. I thought this book was okay but I didn't this it was the best ever
Number the Stars is about a girl who travels around to help her friend get away from the Natizs. This book is a suspenseful, action packed, and at times a comedy.
This book was amazing. It was about an girl named Annmarie who has a best friend, Ellen, who is an Jew. Ellen has to pretend to be Annmarie's sister, while her parents are getting sent away to a safer place. When I was smaller, I didn't get the book that much, but now, it is AMAZING. I recommend this book to 3rd-6th graders.
this is in my top 5 list of best boks
This is a great historical fiction book about a 10 year old girl, Annemarie and her jewish friend, Ellen that live during the time when the natziz took over Germany and other places. As she and her family hides her friend, natziz suspect them and don't quite trust what they're doing. I will now post a part about tis book that is kept me reading. (just so you know, Ellen is wearing the Star of David necklace, which proves that she is a jew). "Ellen,"she whispered urgently "take your necklace off!" Ellen's hands flew to her neck. Despertly she began trying to unhook the tiny class. Outside the bedroom door, the harsh voices and heavy footsteps continued. "I can't get it open!" Ellen said frantically. "I never take it off- I can't even remember how to open it!" Annemarie heard a voice just outside the door. "What is in here?" "Shhh," her mother replied "My daughters' bedroom. They are sound asleep." "Hold still," Annemarie commanded "This will hurt." She grabbed the little gold chain, yanked it with all her strength, and broke it. As the door opened and light flooded into the bedroom, she crumpled it into her hand and closed her fingers tightly. Terrified,both girls looked up at 3 Nazi officers that entered the room.
That was like, the best part.
