Number the Stars By Lois Lowry is about two best friends in Nazi-occupied Copenhagen. One of the girls is Jewish so you can imagine what her life becomes. The other learns quickly about sacrifice and courage. Well-written and presented, with some interesting bits of Danish history. And an easy, quick read, perfect for the Read-a-thon!

Great job! I have not read Number the Stars in a long time. I will have to dig it out!
I think I read that in middle school.
nise - yeah, i think it's worth re-reading as an adult...
sharonanne - yep, that's about the age it's intended for! :-)
