9. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
《數(shù)星星》 露易絲·勞瑞著

[推薦理由]

This is a realistic novel. It's based on history. Unlike other historical literature, it's easy to understand. If you already know a lot of information about World War II, this might be an interesting book for you. It's not recommended if you don't know too much about the World Wars. In this case, you will be focusing on trying to understand the facts too much so you will not enjoy the book as much.
這是一部現(xiàn)實(shí)主義的小說。該小說以歷史為基礎(chǔ)，但不像其他的歷史著作，它很容易理解。如果你已經(jīng)了解很多有關(guān)第二次世界大戰(zhàn)的知識，那么這本書對你來說可能會很有趣。但如果你不是很了解世界大戰(zhàn)，則不建議你閱讀此書。因?yàn)槟銜^專注于了解事實(shí)，而無法享受閱讀本身。
