Number
the Stars

Ten year old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think about life before the war. But it's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching in their town.

The Nazis won't stop. The Jew of Denmark are being "relocated", so Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be part of the family.

Then Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission. Somehow she must find the strength and courage to save her best friend's life. There's no turning back now.

Unlike The Diary of Anne Frank this novel is fiction.... I know several of you had mixed emotions about The Diary of Anne Frank, I hope that watching the movie helped you visualize Anne and the type of person she was. 

We will be doing this novel till the end of the year.
