Summary: Wonderful story on a provocative subject.
Comment: Number the Stars is a story of friendship, bravery and loyalty. Set in Denmark in 1943, this is the story ten-year-old best friends, Annemarie Johansen and Ellen Rosen. When Hitler's army begins to "relocate" Denmark's Jews, Annemarie and her family help Ellen and her family escape to Sweden. Annemarie learns the true meaning of bravery and friendship. This story was based upon experiences of Lowry's friend, Annelise Platt, and tells a poignant story of the role the Danish Resistance played in saving the lives of almost all of Denmark's Jews.
This is a wonderful story that helps children begin to understand the feelings and plight of the Jews during World War II. Anxious moments are spent by the reader whenever the soldiers appear to confront the characters of the story. Annemarie displays true bravery and considerable intelligence in the face of the danger presented by soldiers. Parents and teachers can feel comfortable using Number the Stars, to begin a discussion of horrors of the holocaust, at the fourth or fifth grade level. The book can be used to teach not only history and language arts, but also geography and social relationships.
