Annemarie is ten years old. She has a little sister named Kirsti. Her best friend is Ellan Johansen. Annemarie is a brave, smart, and caring girl.

Ellen Johansen is a caring and brave girl. She has an amazing best friend that was willing to save her life even though it was a dangerous mission.

Number the Stars is a great book about courage by Lois Lowery. In 1943, Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was being closely watched by Nazi soldiers. The soldiers stood at the corners of every street, and life has been dramatically changed for Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen. During wartime and there wasn't much left in Copenhagen that wasn't made illegal by the Nazis. The Nazis also relocated all Jewish families, and Ellen was Jewish. Ellen and her family escaped to Sweden, but Ellen didn't know where her parents were because she was staying with the Johansen's pretending to be Annemarie's sister that had passed away. Annemarie was asked to go on a dangerous mission that would save Ellen's life. Number the Star's was a great book!
