Clarion Number the Stars

I am currently in a study group that is reading "Children's Literature" mostly focusing on young adult fiction. I thought the book was very well written and a great introduction to young readers to learn about the Holocaust and the resistance. I would definitely recommend it and give it to my grandchildren to read when they are older.

Interesting, eye-opening easy to read. Great for young people.

Me gustó. Me servirá para reforzar mi Inglés

Es lo que llaman un clasico moderno.Muy orientado para personas q estan empezando a leer en ingles.Lectura ligera.

I bought this book for myself - because I had already bought and read The Boy in Striped Pyjamas and I sometimes think wartime stories can be more powerful if they are directed at children.Well I read this in one hit and I was charmed by it. Having studied the war and the Holocaust for probably nigh on 40 years now, I was aware of Denmark's careful handling of its Jews and I have to say they deserve great credit for their endeavour to prevent meekly handing over people of their own, who just happened to be Jewish.The depictions of the Nazi soldiers chimed perfectly with elderly Dutch people I know who were children at that time - I wish I knew why occupying soldiers felt the need to always be so nasty - but the firm need not to ask questions, because if you happen to be being bullied then ignorance is bliss, was an extremely mindful piece of advice.Thank you, Wendy Lower, for a beautiful book, a book of kindness and great honesty at a time when friends were a much needed and very blessed commodity.
