Title: Number the Stars
Author: Lois Lowry
Number of pages: 136
Here is a little summary of the story I am reading for my book project. Annmarie and her friend Ellen live in Denmark were the Germans are staring to invade during the Holocaust. The story starts when Germans used to be on every corner of every street in Copenhagen, because of the Holocaust. but when the Germans start to get serious they want the whole Jewish population in Copenhagen to leave and go to a different place beside Copenhagen. Ellen Annmarie friend is Jewish so Ellen had to stay with Annmarie until this was all over but Ellen parents went somewhere else in Denmark so Ellen didn't have any contact with them. but one night when Ellen and Annmarie were asleep they could see through the cracks of the doors some light out in the hallway, they could here talking then they realized that soldiers were at the door. the soldiers said that they could here giggling so they wanted to go see what there children were doing. but the Annmarie got out of bed and said that Ellen have to take of her necklace of the Star of David because then the soldiers might take her away, but Ellen couldn't get it off. then Annmarie ripped it right off of here when the soldiers came into the room he ask the girls to step out into the hallway. the solider ask for there names Annmarie spoke first she said I am Annmarie Johnson but then Ellen could say her real name because they noticed a list of all the family in Copenhagen so then Ellen thought Annmarie older sister who is died a long time ago named Lise wasn't with them so Ellen spoke up i am Lise Johnson even though that wasn't her real name the soldiers bought it. so that is what has been happening so far in my book.
my favorite quote in this book is "All of Denmark is his guard on page 20 chapter 1 it comes in when the father said was telling Annmarie a story and it wen like this there was boy one day and he was walking to the end of the street and the king of Denmark was going by and the solider ask the boy "Who is that man" and the boy replied "He is the king of Denmark the solider ask were is his body guards and then the boy replied "All of Denmark is his body guard".
