Book Review: "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry
Number the Stars by Lois LowryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
NUMBER THE STARS is an amazing, fast-paced fictional account one girl's role in delivering a group of Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied Denmark to the safe shores of Sweden, and the events leading up to it.
I spent my entire Saturday afternoon reading this story of friendship, bravery, and love, and I don't regret a single minute. Lois Lowry is an extremely talented writer; my heart raced with her characters, felt the same sorrow as they did, and rejoiced with them on the day WWII finally ended, delivering their compassionate nation from oppression.
This short, inspiring tale will keep you on your toes while teaching you a valuable lesson on true courage. Recommended to all ages by yours truly.
