And at just under three hours, it's a relatively quick listen. If you just plain love a good story, well told, you will LOVE this book. If you love young adult literature, you will love this book. Not to be missed! If you love historical fiction, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. ADDED BONUS: At the end of the story there is a discussion about the historical facts behind this fictional account of the Nazi invasion. Her reading of the book is smooth and graceful. Reader Blair Brown is a nice consolation prize, though. I wish this book had been read by author Lois Lowry, since writers usually read their books better than anyone else. You will rejoice at the small victories the characters achieve. Your pulse will quicken every time the Nazis knock on the door. You will want to weep for the divided families and children forced to grow up too quickly. Historical fiction at its finest, it captures both the facts and the feelings of the era. Although the protagonists in this story are children, people of all ages will enjoy this book. Number the Stars is the story of two little girls whose friendship is put to the test by the Nazi invasion of Denmark.
