Number the Stars by: Lois Lowry

Being at a young age of 10 and not being told the complete truth about what’s going on and why there are so many Nazi soldiers on each corner of the street is exactly what Annemarie Johansen was going through. It is her Jewish best friend and her family that is getting the worst part of the whole thing. After King Christian X surrendered to the German’s to prevent losing his whole town to war, Ellen Rosen is Annemarie’s best friend. After the Nazi’s starting relocated Jews they took Ellen in as their daughter as her parents were also taken from friends and put in a safe place.

She did not know what was in the package all she knew was that she was supposed to go and get it to them. What had Uncle Henrik needed with a handkerchief ? She got herself together again and finally got it to him just about 20 minutes before they came and searched his boat. mportant package that he was supposed to give to Uncle Henrik. She was to go through the dark path by herself and had already gotten to the meadow when 4 Nazi soldiers stopped her.

Annemarie was 12 and she was very anxious to she her friend.
