Number the Stars by: Lois Lowry

The main characters in this story are Annemarie, Mama, Papa, Kristie, Ellen, Peter, and Uncle Henrick. The setting of the story takes place in Denmark in 1943. At that time the Nazis were trying to get rid of all the Jewish people.
In the story the Johansens were trying to save their Jewish friends, the Rosen’s, from Hitler and the Nazis. The Rosen’s where in danger because they where Jewish, and the Johansen’s were in danger because they were protecting and helping their Jewish friends. This story is about the trials and tribulations both families went through during this time.
I absolutely loved the book because, it’s a true story and it is easy to picture the whole thing in your head. My Bible verse that goes with this story is John 15:13.‘Greater love has no man then this, that a man lay down his life for his friend’s. The Johannes’s demonstrated this by risking their lives for their friends.
