Have you ever played hide and go seek? In the game of Hide and Go seek, someone tracks down another person. This story that I read, called Number the Stars by Luis Lowry, reminds me of Hide and goes seek. A young girl is alive during the Holocaust. She is sent on a very dangerous mission. She keeps hiding from the Nazis. This book is full of adventure and excitement, and it will keep you wanting to read more and more.
Annemarie shows braveness throughout the whole book. She saves her best friends life, threatening her own. She allows Ellen, her friend into her own home. They have to do some crazy stuff in order to keep their lives. The Nazis are the problems in this story. If they find Ellen with Annemarie’s family, they will be killed. It is a big risk for two young girls to hide from trained soldiers.
Peter Nelson also partakes in a huge part for Annemarie and Ellen’s Journey. He is part of the Danish Resistance. He helps Ellen’s Parents across the sea of Kattegat. Kattegat is a sea that stands in between Freedom. Across this sea is Sweden, a free Country. There is a lot of mystery behind this man, but you will have to read to find out. Ellen and her family eventually get across the Sea of Kattegat, into a free country. They finally escaped the Nazis after many years.
The book Number the Stars is a book about friendship, Bravery, and Courage. Annemarie is encountered with a very dangerous mission, and she overcomes it. If you want a book with a lot of cliff hangers, and a lot of Adventure, or if you just want to learn about the holocaust, then you should read Number the Stars by Luis Lowry.
