As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, 10-year-old Annemarie Johansens's family takes in annemaries' best friend, Ellen Roxen, and pretend she is part of the family. Ellen and Annemarie must htink quickly when three Nazi officers arrive late one night and question why Ellen is not blond, like her sisters. Through Annemaries' eyes, we see the Danish Resistance as they manage to smuggle almost the entire Jewish population, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. In this tale of an entire nation's heroism, Lois Lowry reminds us that there is pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war.

Number the stars book is very Annemarie Johansen and Ellen Rosen has good relationship with each other. Like when Annemarie is to go on a dangerous journey, what is to save her best friend Ellen’s life. I can see that how they think and trust so much, about friendship. I think of my friends when I read through this book. This book was very impressive when Annemarie decided to go on the dangerous journey even it was a lot dangerous. I felt very sad and heavy when I read this book, can know what author want reader to feel like when I read. It was good to read.
