The unforgettable Newbery Medal-winning novel from Lois Lowry. As
the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews
of Denmark, Annemarie Johansen's family takes in Annemarie's best
friend, Ellen Rosen, and conceals her as part of the family.
Through the eyes of ten-year-old Annemarie, we watch as the Danish
Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark,
nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. The heroism
of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human
decency in the world even during a time of terror and war. A modern
classic of historical fiction, Number the Stars has won generations
of fans and continues to speak to today's readers. Jessica Grose
wrote in a November 2022 New York Times essay entitled "This
Perfect Mother-Daughter Read Holds a Powerful Lesson for Fighting
Antisemitism" "Number the Stars is particularly relevant to our
family, and to this moment." As School Library Journal put it:
"Readers are taken to the very heart of Annemarie's experience,
and, through her eyes, come to understand the true meaning of
bravery."
