Number the Stars was not a book that caught my eye at first, rather it was an assignment. However, I must admit that upone opening the fresh new book and creasing open the 1st chapter- I could scarcely put it down!

This book transports you, whole, to a world that was once thought to be over... but as Lowry shows us, memories and history are never quite gone. Make this heroine journey with this young girl and discover a piece of yourself you never thought you possessed. Its an easy must-read.

Sharon Creech drags you into a world of a young girl who leaves her beloved home behind to go to the city with her father. She then begins a wounderous journey that she brings you on. A journey of joys, sadness, and lessons learned. Sharon's colorful imagination allows you to see vividly the worl from the young girl's eyes. I enjoyed it so much I couldn't put it down... I read it twice in one day! It is a must read!

I enjoyed reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond because it kept me entertained and was vivid. I enjoyed the way the writer portrayed the story as well as the characters in the story. I felt like I was there in the book when I read it.
