Number the Stars
By: Lois Lowry

This book takes place during WWII.  It is about a Danish girl who risks her life to save her best friend who is Jewish.  It shows you the impact that war has on a family.  It won the 1990 Newberry Medal, so this book really IS good. 


(Note:  The links to the right are NOT the actual text of the book.  They are mini-quizzes you can take after reading the book.)
