Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is the daring tale of a friend's rescue. Inge and Annemarie Johansen are a mother and daughter caught up in the Danish Resistance.

Anyone suspected of being a Jew is being captured and taken to a concentration camp. In order to save her friend's life, Annemarie must help sneak her across the border into Sweden. Inge and Annemarie are part of an organization dedicated to keeping as many Danish Jews away from the Nazis as possible.

“O praise the Lord. How good it is to sing psalms to our God! How pleasant to praise him! The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem; he gathers in the scattered sons of Israel. It is he who heals the broken in spirit and binds up their wounds, he who numbers the stars one by one...”
