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.

I loved this book. This book is about German people attacking other places in Europe.When I read it it made me feel sad because I didn't like how they would treat the Jewish people. I recommend this book.

Number the stars is sad and intresting.The jews are treated unfairly and i don't like that.I would give this book a good rait because it tuched my heart.

I love this book! I am reading this in school, and I'm not done, but it's amazing, and you should read it.

I love this book! I read this book when I was in fourth grade. it was kinda sad though. It was about a girl who was Jewish.

I think this is a great book and you should defiantely go check it out for yourself because it shows what the jewish people had to deal with during Worl War ll.

I really enjoyed this book because it has a lot of action and adventure. While there is action and adventure, it gives you a glimpse into the lives of the Jewish people and the things they endured during World War II. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about history of the Jewish people.

We recently finished this book in school, and it was amazing! Sad, but amazing! The story is so well written. If you haven't read it, you need to!
