"Number the Stars" is a historical fiction book by Lois Lowry, taking place during the German occupation of Denmark in 1943. Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen worries, when the Germans increase their efforts to persecute Jewish people, which includes her best friend, Ellen Rosen. The Johansens pretend Ellen is their daughter, to protect her. They take her to their Uncle Henrik, where they use a fake funeral as a cover, so they can smuggle Jewish people out of the country, inside a fishing boat. Annemarie bravely takes a vital package to the boat, getting it past some angry soldiers.

I give this book a 10 out of 10.
