Vashaune: The Daniel Center

Vashaune: The Daniel Center

The Book: Number The Stars by Lois Lowry


Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life. (Summary from Amazon)

The assignment was to interview a character from Number The Stars. Vashaune chose to interview the main character in the book, Annemarie. After summarizing the plot,  he created questions that he thought would be interesting to ask the protagonist, Annemarie. Next, he answered those questions from Annemarie's perspective. He completed this assignment in interview format. Here is his good work! 





Number The Stars by Lois Lowry is a wonderful book, recommended for students in grade 3-5. Vashaune, who says he doesn't enjoy reading, rates Number The Stars a 3 out of 5!
