1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: The True Stars of Denmark, January 28, 2007 A Kid's Review I read "Number The Stars" by Lois Lowery and it was very fascinating! It really captured the Holocaust taking place in Denmark, and made you feel like you where actually living it. This book was very exciting and was hard to put down. The main characters in this book are Ellen, Annemarie, Kirsti and their families. Annemarie is Kirsti's big sister and Ellen is their friend. It starts when the three girls are walking home from school one day, and are stopped by a Nazi soldier. Ellen is very frightened because she is Jewish, and knows what may happen to her and her family. When Ellen's family starts to get worried they send Ellen to stay with Annemarie's family until it is safe. One night, in the middle of the night, the Nazis come looking for Ellen's family and the Nazis decide to pay a visit to Annemarie's family, who are neighbors with Ellen's family. They are caught off guard and have little time to stash Ellen's Jewish star necklace. Annemarie's family decides it is safer for the girls and their mother to stay at their uncle's house until Ellen and her family are safe. Annemarie's uncle is a fisherman and now has dedicated his life to, no not fishing, but smuggling Jews over the sea to Sweden. The Nazis have been on to his plan and come to investigate him. However, all they find is a handkerchief. If you want to know how the handkerchief plays a role in the story, or if you are just dying to know if Ellen and her family get to Sweden safely you must read this book. If this sounds interesting to you or if you just loved this book try these other books: "Behind The Bedroom Wall", "Anne Frank's Diary" and "Nory Ryan's Song". One thing I love is a good book that captures you in the story. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
