About Number the Stars
Parents need to know that Lois Lowry's sense of timing and choice of details put readers in the middle of the story. A riveting read, but your kids may have questions afterward.

I've read it five times!
I loved this book I read it five times at least. It has a happy ending, some parts will make jump for joy and some parts will make you cry. A must read for any child.

Great Book!
This book was a very interesting read with a lot of foreshadowing. I thought it was very good and our class read it together in 5th grade in literature group. Lois Lowry is an excellent author. A MUST read! :-)
