Something you should read.

We just got done reading a book called Number the Stars and it was a very good book. It was about a girl, Annemarie, and she lives in Denmark. Her best friend Ellen is Jewish and they're in war! The soldiers are after all the Jewish people. Ellen stays with Annemarie and if the soldiers come Ellen has a necklace with the Star of David a symbol of the Jewish people.Will the soldiers come, if so will they take Ellen? So when Annmarie's mom and dad try to keep her safe things go wrong. Then they try to escape--will the soldiers find them? When they get there after a few days something happens to Annemarie's mother. She's not home on time--did the soldiers get her?
Read to find out what happens next in Number the Stars!

A book I read

I just finished this book called Number The Stars. The reason I like this book is because I thought it was so interesting, to see what it was like back in the days when the German soldiers took over Denmark. This was during World War II. I thought it was interesting when King Christian X came out on his horse with guards riding around the neighborhood in the early mornings. That's why people liked him so much! I also learned that the German soldiers did not like the Jews, so they tried to capture and kill the Jews.

I learned that the name of a Jewish symbol is the Star of David. People who tried to help the Jews escape used code words. The code word for the Jews was "cigarettes".

I think if you've never read Number the Stars you should try it.
