Number the Stars....
We are beginning a novel study reading Number the Stars. Number the Stars (1989) is a work of historical fiction by American author, Lois Lowry, about the escape of a Jewish family from Copenhagen during World War II.
The story centers on ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen, who lives with her family in Copenhagen in 1943. She becomes a part of the events related to the rescue of the Danish Jews, when thousands of Jews were helped to reach neutral ground in Sweden in order to avoid being deported to concentration camps.
We will begin reading this as a class on Wednesday and will complete it Monday, February 8th. Please let me know if you have an issue with your student reading this novel.
