Number the Stars is a historical fiction book about the Holocaust. In this book there is predudice, racism,and anti-semitism. This book is about two families who are very close to each other. The problem is one family is Christian and the other is Jewish! The nazis are out to get the rosens, they are the Jewish family. The other family , the Johansons, hide Ellen, the Rosens one and only daughter, and pretend she is the Johansons daughter who died. Peter, their eldest daughter's fiance, hides the Ellen's parents and make it to Sweden to freedom. I insist you read this book because it is the best book I have ever read!
