Book Review! // Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

6/19/2019

 
And I’m back with another book review! This book was a sweet little read, but I do have a few cautions about it. If you love World War Two and those who protected our Jewish friends, then stick around!

Number the Stars
By Lois Lowry
3 Stars
Historical Fiction: World War Two Denmark

Suggested Age: 8-12 for understanding (if edited or explained by an adult); 16 for content.

Overall: This was a neat little book about the Denmark underground under the Third Reich. Did you know that the Danes smuggled out nearly all of their 7,000 Jewish citizens?!? That’s amazing! And the mode they used to rescue them and get past Nazi search dogs was so interesting!

There were a few things that I didn’t like about this story…quite a bit of lying (and justifying it), mentions of alcohol, and smoking. There was also a comment made by a Nazi to a lady that I thought that was inappropriate for a children’s book. The little sister was supposed to be a bit of a brat, but for the most part, everyone got along.

I also thought the end was fast. You find out who lived and who died and why they died all in a rapid-fire style, and I felt too overwhelmed to really feel the sorrow for the character who died. It happened to be my favorite character too, which didn’t help. Overall, the realness of death was lost on me due to the hurried style.

But one thing is for sure, I would love to meet King Christian 😉 He seemed like the kings in stories, ones who truly put their people’s needs before their own. Whether he was really like that or not, I’m not sure, but I thought it was a neat touch!

Have a Blessed Day!
