Just finished reading 'Number the Stars' and wow, it hit me right in the feels. Lois Lowry somehow makes WWII history feel personal through 10-year-old Annemarie's eyes. That scene where she pretends to be a silly girl to deliver the package? Absolute chills!

The book arrived in perfect condition - no bends or tears. Been recommending it to all my book club friends. At 137 pages, it's short but packs SO much emotion. The Danish resistance stuff? Had me googling real historical events afterward.

What surprised me most was how accessible it is for younger readers while still being profound. My 12-year-old niece borrowed my copy and we've had the best discussions about bravery and friendship. That funeral scene with the hidden Jews? Genius storytelling.

Pro tip: Read the author's note at the end - it adds this incredible real-world connection that made me appreciate the story even more. Already planning to re-read it next month!
