Number the Stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really like this book . It's a very enjoyable story, but just short of epic. Certain areas may not be as fulfilling as they could have been. I'm not quite as captivated or blown away, but still had a great experience. I'd recommend this book to others and continue reading from this author. I would probably re-read it.

A quick read about the little known Danish heroes that did what they could to help their Jewish neighbors during the holocaust. Good book.

I want to take my time with a review for this one. I'll start with this. I didn't really know what I was going to read. I only picked this up on a recommendation from PlanWithIlysse. This is a book I am very glad that I picked up to read. I would love to read more books similar to this one.

This morning we finally finished reading Number the Stars. We've been working on this one for a while but took a hiatus when I was coughing so much. Now my voice is back and I've been reading all day with glee.

I picked this book up because it was recommended to me by one of the kids I work with. It seems like they read it for school and since they liked it they recommended it to me.

It is a good book, even though it is about a subject I prefer not to read about. I completely see why they read it in school and think it is a good length.

This is a Children's Historical Fiction novel that touches on true events of WWII. As you probably know historical books are hit or miss for me but luckily this one was a hit.

I tend to enjoy Historical novels that tell a story about what it was like for people during the time and that's exactly what I got with this book. The portrayal of the events happening were very subtle and not graphic which I can totally appreciate considering its geared toward children but I would have liked it to be a little more in depth.

While reading I didn't really think I had any connections with the characters but toward the end some things happened that made me tear up a little.

I think it ended nicely but I was hoping for a reunion at the end that didn't happen. You're left to your imagination on how things worked out for certain characters which is ok but like I said I was really hoping for a reunion.

Overall I really enjoyed this and would recommend everyone read it at some point in their lives.

This is an excellent book. I read it with my 5th graders and most of them loved it. It gives younger students a look into what living during World War 2 would have been like for someone their age. The book is well written, interesting, realistic, and entertaining.

There are still scenes that stayed with me from when I was young and read it.

appropriate for younger kids. My 9 year old read it and enjoyed it and it opened the door for a nice introductory conversation about the Shoah.

Annemarie is living in dangerous times, Denmark, 1943, during the Nazi occupation. Soldiers line the streets and harass the citizens daily. One day, Annemarie's family learns that the Nazis have decided to relocate the Jews living in Denmark. Annemarie's best friend and her parents are suddenly forced to find a way to get out of Denmark. It is Annemarie and her family who are able to help.

This was an exciting adventure story with scary Nazis popping up on every page. I listened anxiously to find out whether Annemarie's friends would manage to flee Copenhagen and sail across to safety in Sweden.

I read this book in 6th grade and it was one of the first books that opened my eyes to the terrible things that happened during WWII.
