Number the Stars is about Annemarie, a ten-year-old, who is in the middle of a war.
She dreams of the past, but watches the future. Soldiers are on streets patrolling. Food
shortages and candlelight are nightmares. But when her friend, a Jewish girl, finds
out she is in danger, Annemarie is willing to save her. Throughout it all, Annemarie
learns the true meaning of friendship. But will she learn bravery?
