Number the Stars

The book - The cover of the book is as beautiful as the story inside. Font size and page quality are fabulous. The story - This is one of those fantastic books which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. The dark side of WWII is toned down for children. It perfectly showcases the magnanimity of certain kind hearted and brave human beings who make the world a better place to live in. The note from the author in the final pages of the book moistens the eye more than the fiction could do. There are elements of reality around which this brilliant story was spun. It is such an unputdownable book that the reader can easily complete it in one sitting.

This is a YA book but I decided to buy it for myself when I was looking for a gift for my friend's daughter. The main reason is that I have lived in Copenhagen for a while and this book is set in Copenhagen. The story tells the atrocities (toned down, of course) that happened during the Nazi regime. The story is simple yet powerful for the children to understand the cruelities of war without actually going into the gruesome details. It shows what it means to be a friend, to stay brave and to hope for the best. Parents...please buy this for your tweens.

Best book for first time reader of English books.vocabulary and writing of story is understandable for every age group. Story of little Annemarie and her friend Ellen's life.
