AWESOME! submitted by smv on June 18, 2011, 10:05pm If anyone wrote another book detailing the Nazis in non-textbook format, this book probably would be better than it. AKA this book is AWESOME!

number of stars submitted by oshi1232 on June 23, 2011, 3:14pm it was sad but good

Historical fun submitted by derin on June 28, 2011, 12:11pm I L-O-V-E love this book! It is fun and has a wonderful rescue. It is a tale of friendship and trust. Must read this with a capital EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

Lovely submitted by evelyn on June 28, 2011, 1:01pm This is a wonderful book for introducing children to the Holocaust. It's better for children who are a little older, but it's gentle enough to act as a starter book for kids learning about WWII.

Number The Stars submitted by Commander Taffy on July 26, 2011, 7:47pm A sad but beautiful book.

Good submitted by 0liviap0pp on August 22, 2011, 7:06am This is an EXTREMELY good but youth level book on the Nazis, WWII, and the Holocaust.

Number the Stars submitted by leehannah on June 17, 2012, 7:15pm This book was so intense and I was really freaked out about the soldiers. If I was a Jew, I would want to have switched my religion before I got caught. Lois Lowry did an excellent job of descriptive details and really pulling the reader into the book.

Okay submitted by Motomori on July 11, 2012, 8:00am I thought this book was filled of history but was also very fun to read and in my case it is really hard to interest me in historically fun books so thumbs up Lois Lowry!

:) submitted by waffoo2 on August 7, 2013, 7:32pm I love Her books. This is by far my favourite of hers.

beautiful submitted by airgood on August 8, 2014, 2:44pm This is a touching, emotional book. It's fantastic and provides a great introduction to a difficult topic.

High school submitted by Cory Michael on July 25, 2015, 11:34am I remember reading this in high school. Such a great book!

Great submitted by betsywil on June 18, 2018, 10:25pm With vivid characters, compelling plot, and accurate history (except for the time travel, which is not explained), this book is a great read.
It deserved its Newbery medal.

Classic everyone should read submitted by halliejewell on June 28, 2019, 1:49pm I remember reading in middle school, I hope this is still read in history classes today

Number The Stars submitted by SBNB on June 30, 2019, 10:16am This is a great book. We read it in elementary school, and I still think about it from time to time.

number the stars submitted by gracevandervliet on July 23, 2019, 7:27pm i read this book in third grade and it taught me a lot about the 2and world war and how jews had to survive in it and get to Sweden. if you want a good book to read i think you should read this book.

Quick but amazing read submitted by sydcha on August 2, 2019, 5:33pm This book will affect people of all ages and backgrounds with it's heartbreaking portrayal of a terrible time. I truly enjoy picking up this book every time I go to reread it.

Lois Lowry is at it again submitted by caburr47 on August 3, 2019, 2:59pm I read this as a student in elementary school, but it still had a resounding affect on me that I recall it as an adult. This story introduces children to the idea of the holocaust and the experience of individuals living in Europe during the 1940's. I highly recommend this book.

Good submitted by autumnmist on August 15, 2019, 3:57am Eye opening
