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 read this book in a cd at my school and it is about this girl name is ellen and she is a jewish girl and the war was going on i think nikkigogojune wanted to read this book so the war was going on and her best friend annemarie is not a jewish girl and annemaries sister liza died in a car crash two weeks before her wedding it is a really really good book
this book is so good. it tells about ewhen peple are tryng to kill all the jewish people and a little girl who is on the front cover is actually Christian and nnot jewish but she is trying to help a Jewish family. i have also seen the movie close to something like this and it is very sad. But in some parts they are really good. you have got to read this book. it really is amazing! =)

omg i love number the stars my class is reading it and were almost finished,nice book pick. oh and I wonder if annemarie will find ellen again?
This book tells the story of a 10 year old girl during world war two. she lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. through out the story she goes to Gillelege where she has to deliver a package that may depend on manys lives. Her best friend ellen is a jew. Her uncle is a fisherman and is trying to take some jews to sweden where there are no germans. it is action packed and historical. U will love this book, even though the first part is a littlte slow
Imagine this: who you are and what you believe does not matter. You have to hide your identity to survive. Fleeing your home is your only option. Read this book and find out just how lucky you have it.
