Number the Stars is a wonderful experience and a book that teaches you about the Holocaust. The Holocaust is when the Nazis tried to kill all of the Jewish people led by the leader, Hitler. The book is not all about that. It’s mainly about a girl, Annemarie, and her friend, Ellen. The main problem is that Ellen is Jewish, and the German solders are looking for her. It’s up to Annemarie and her family to save her.


I recommend this book for ages 9-13 because some kids don’t even know who the Nazis are. It’s pretty hard to understand it too. If you are somebody who wants to learn about it, then read it. Some people might think the concentration camps were some good place when they were where Jewish people went to die. You would understand the relationship between the two girls. They looked after one another, they always stayed to together, they were best friends. Annemarie is going to save her best friend so that she doesn’t get killed.


You can get this book in any bookstore, Barnes and Noble, etc. If you like historical fiction then get the book.
