Overview
Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars is a Newbery Medal-winning novel that tells the compelling story of ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen, who becomes involved in the Danish Resistance during World War II to help save her Jewish friend, Ellen Rosen. Through Annemarie's eyes, readers experience the courage and resilience of ordinary people during a time of terror and war.
This anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the author, providing additional context and insights into the story's historical background. The novel's themes of bravery, friendship, and the fight against injustice make it a powerful tool for teaching students about history and ethics.
Why educators buy in bulk: Number the Stars is widely adopted in middle school curricula for its alignment with Common Core standards and its ability to foster critical thinking and empathy. Its historical context provides a gateway to interdisciplinary studies, combining literature with social studies. Bulk purchases are common for literature circles, classroom sets, and district-wide reading initiatives focused on historical awareness and moral education.
