Number the Stars

For Girls Book Club at Frontier Academy, the school I go to on Fridays only, I had to read a book called Number the Stars. Number the Stars is written by Lois Lowry. Lois Lowry is a great author. She has also written The Giver  and many other great books. Number the Stars is a great book for children nine years old and older. Grown-ups would also love this book. If you like World War II settings, then you should definitely buy or check out this book!

Number the Stars is about a girl named Annemarie, her family and her friend, Ellen. Ellen and Annemarie  are best friends forever, for they are always counting on each other. Annemarie is a ten year old and so is Ellen. Ellen is in a Jewish family.  During World War II the Nazis hated Jewish people. The Nazis were evacuating Jewish families from their homes. So Annemarie's family took Ellen into their own, but could the Nazis possibly find her?  This is based on a true story of friendship and bravery that you cant miss.
