Number the Stars

I chose this book for my historical fiction text because again, it is one I have heard much about but never got the chance to read in school. I like how the book is centered around the Nazi occupation of Denmark, yet it is told from the point of view of Annemarie Johansen who is not Jewish, but whose friend is. Still, their lives are terrorized by the Nazis. Personally, I enjoyed this book more than the Diary of Anne Frank. I felt many of the close calls with the Nazi officers were extremely intense, and the happiness of the ending absolutely gives me the chills.
