Maybe in a few years she still won't be able to do so but will be doing amazing stuff in mathematics, languages, ... who knows ? | |

| Nov 22, 2015 at 2:48 | comment | added | Malady | Ah. I see. Well, at least she remembers what happened in the story... Wait... "Number the Stars" actually has a clear plot, right? If it's something like a day-by-day diary, then important plot points might get lost in the bits of other details. And a knowledge of WW2 Nazi history might be needed for a 11-year-old to get the plot? | |

In this book, the protagonist helps her Jewish friend escape Nazi-occupied Denmark. A description of the plot should boil down to that main sequence of events with smaller events added if requested, not by default. | |
