Number the stars is a wonderful book about Ellen and Annemarie, 2 ten-year-old girls that are best friends.

The thing that made the characters interesting was that they all had such different character and personalities. Sassy, sensitive, passionate, brave, carrying. All the characters carried these traits, they just showed in different ways
One of the things I learned from Number the stars is that bravery is not always what it looks like.
My favorite character was Kristy because she was so sassy and brave. She grew up with the soldiers around her so she treated them whatever way she wanted without being
