From Common Sense media: Parents need to know that Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry, is a poignant read about the Nazi occupation of Denmark that won the Newbery Medal, the highest honor in children's literature, in 1990. Expect some tense moments between kids and Nazi soldiers, once on the street, other times in their homes, and another time a girl is alone in the country with soldiers who have two large dogs. Nazis slap the main character's mother. There are mentions of deaths and disappearances, too, including the death of the main character's sister, who was hit by a car before the story begins. Beers are offered to adults and a baby is drugged to keep her quiet on a dangerous night. The main character, 10-year-old Annemarie, doesn't see herself as brave at first, but then she performs a selfless act and uses her wits to save others. The Christian Danes possess a sense of community that includes their Jewish neighbors and work to save them from the Nazis.
