I love Number the Stars because it takes place in history when the Germans were capturing the Jews. I also like this book because it tells a story of how this 10 year-old girl feels helping her best friend's family get to safety. I would definitely recommend Louis Lowry books to friends and family. ECU 6/26/08 In this book, Ann Marie and her friend, Ellen are growing up in the middle of World War II. Ellen who is a Jew is in trouble, so Ellen gets a little help from Ann Marie's family. This book was so exciting I could not put it down. Ann Marie is like me because she was willing to help her friend even though it was very dangerous. JEA 6/20/08
