Number the Stars

Reader reviewed by Rachael B. (Mrs. Siorek's class)

This book was about a girl named Annemarie and all the courage and bravery she had! I could never be as brave as her. I feel bad for the Jews in this story because they were treated really bad. I am glad I was not alive in that time because I would be so scared and frightend. I think that all of the German soldiers wre out of wack to kill inisent people like Lise. I think Elen had a lot of courage because she new she was in danger but did not let it show that she was scared. I was suprised how Lise died and sad how she died too. When Peter got killed I felt really bad because he was part of the family. I really want to know when or will Ellen will come back to Denmark. This book needs a sequel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Number the Stars is a brilliant, inspiring, suspensful book. This book is so good it deserves to have a sequel. This book is not fact after fact after fact, but a story with historical fiction in a story. I would recommend this book to anyone I met. Lowry created a masterpiece when she wrote this marvoleous book. I guarantee it will captivate, entertain, and teach your mind things. I just can not tell you how good this book is. There is no word that can describe this excellent book. I really hope you read this book.

This was an O.K. book. It talk a lot about the Holocost It should not be read by people under the age of 9-10.This book is pretty sad so some people should not read it (like my mom).

I thought of this book of an O.K. book. It was not interesting until the very end... it had too much history in it and personaly i like fantasy books with mythical creatures and all of that. And i like fighting in wars and stuff. Even though this book is about a war it has no fighting at all and that is what i enjoy to read. but if u like history and no fighting of any sort u may like this book.
