Number the Stars
We have just started our novel study unit on the Newbery Medal winner Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. We will be studying this novel alongside with The Diary of Anne Frank with a focus on the historical and political themes present in both.
Fact (Retrieved from Scholastic Canada and the American Library Association):
The novel was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1990 as the "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". Lois Lowry travelled to Copenhagen to do research and interviews for the book. She herself took the photo of the girl used for the cover, which has been used for numerous editions.
