Number the Stars; by Lois Lowry: wasn't my favorite book, but it wasn't bad either. The thing I didn't like about was that Annemarie didn't seem to have a too much of a distinct mission, except for that she was trying to save her friend Ellen, although that is a very good mission. And it didn't keep my interest as much as other books have, even though I liked it. But I did like how one of the things the story could've been saying was, you should always be loyal to your friends and if they're having a hard time to help them out. Also that we should always not think about ourselves, but to be brave and to think about others and how you can help them.
Summary of the Story: Number the Stars is about Annemarie, age 10, and her life during World War 2. It is about her mission to save her best friend Ellen, who is Jewish. The Nazi soldiers are trying to relocate the Jews. But Annemarie and the rest of her family are trying their best to keep Ellen and her parents safe.
I guess I would give it 4 out of 5 stars, one reason is because it shows true friendship between two girls.
I have read that too! I loved it.
