On September 29, 1943, word got out in Denmark that Jews were to be detained and then sent to the death camps. Within hours the Danish resistance, population and police arranged a small flotilla to herd 7,000 Jews to Sweden. Lois Lowry fictionalizes a true-story account to bring this courageous tale to life. She brings the experience to life through the eyes of 10-year-old Annemarie Johannesen, whose family harbors her best friend, Ellen Rosen, on the eve of the round-up and helps smuggles Ellen's family out of the country. <b>Number the Stars</b> won the 1990 Newbery Medal. 2677305 book 1989 Number the Stars total:22559|5:8739|4:8695|3:4304|2:693|1:128| 22559 92901 26749 2087 5 11 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 19 15:45:34 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 21 19:50:33 -0700 2008 Lois Lowery ISBN 0-06-447073-3
