Number the Stars is one of the most amazing works of historical fiction ever written. It was was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1990 as the "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". Although this book's setting is rather heavy, it is a wonderful read for anyone in fifth grade, as well as advanced fourth graders.
The story centers around Annemarie and her life during the Holocaust as she works to save her Jewish friend, Ellen Rosen. There are many strong themes that stand out in this book. Among them are friendship, courage, and family.
No matter your reading level, you will certainly enjoy this book. In spite of the fact that the events within are very sad and difficult to deal with at times, the style is sweet and encouraging. This book is perfect for discussion groups and book clubs, but, regardless of how you read it, you will love Number the Stars.
