Classic & Older Gothic

Number the Stars

by Lois Lowry

In Nazi-occupied Denmark, ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen must summon courage she didn't know she possessed when her family shelters her Jewish best friend from deportation. Through a child's eyes, Lowry portrays the Danish Resistance's efforts to smuggle Jews to safety in Sweden. This Newbery Medal winner illuminates ordinary heroism and the power of human decency during the Holocaust.
