Book Introduction

The Newbery Medal winner, an English original that sells better than its translation!
Check out the full package, which includes a workbook that perfectly organizes difficult vocabulary and an audiobook worth 30,000 won!
This novel is set in Denmark under Nazi rule, where the expulsion and genocide of Jews are taking place, and is a calm yet tense story about the story of 10-year-old Annemarie and her family as they hide their Jewish friend Ellen.
The title 'Number the Stars' is taken from Psalm 147 in the Bible, "He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by name." Here, the star symbolizes the 'Star of David', that is, the Jews, while also implicitly conveying the meaning that nothing in the world is meaningless, just as God counts all the stars in the universe and calls them by name, making us think once again about 'human dignity'.
What is the Newbery Award? And what is the Newbery Collection?
The Newbery Award is a children's literature award presented annually by the American Library Association to the author who has made the greatest contribution to the development of American children's literature.
This award, which began in 1922, boasts the highest authority and history, so much so that it is called the “Nobel Prize of Children’s Books.”
The judging criteria are as strict as the history and authority of the award, and the judging panel carefully evaluates the book's thematic awareness, depth of information, sophistication of the story, and appropriateness of characters and writing style to determine the winner.
Newbery Medal winners are greatly loved by English learners in Korea as 'verified original books.'
The Newbery Medal winners use vocabulary that is not difficult, yet the depth of the sentences is significant enough to warrant a literary award. Their profound sentences make them excellent textbooks for English study, making them enjoyable for all English learners, from elementary school students to adults, and from beginners to experts.
For this reason, Newbery Medal winners are widely used in various ways, such as as mothers' English textbooks in Gangnam, as required reading for entrance exams in international middle and specialized high schools, and as English textbooks in universities.
Additionally, most award-winning works have a strange phenomenon in which the sales of the original books are much higher than those of the Korean translations.
The "Newbery Collection," published by Longtail Books, is a series of English original texts that have been carefully selected from among Newbery Medal-winning works and famous works by Newbery Medal-winning authors, and reborn as customized language textbooks suitable for English language learning in Korea.

Publisher's Review
The Newbery Collection is a series of original English books that have been carefully selected to include Newbery Medal and Honor winners, as well as famous works by Newbery Award-winning authors, and have been reborn as optimal textbooks for Korean English learners.
1.
We have comprehensively reviewed and selected the books to determine whether they are suitable for Korean English learners, including their English level, sentence difficulty, and length.
2.
We selected the best works by taking into account the popularity of existing readers of the original books.
3.
The original design, which was difficult to read due to its narrow format and small text, has been significantly revised to maximize readability by making the format larger and using an optimized English font.
4.
The accompanying workbook thoroughly covers difficult vocabulary and includes quizzes to check comprehension, making it easier and more enjoyable for readers to read the original text.
5.
We have also included audiobooks, which were previously sold at high prices and difficult to obtain, as a supplement, so that you can utilize the original text for both listening and reading aloud.
"Number the Stars" is the first book in Longtail Books' "Newbery Collection" and won the 1990 Newbery Medal.
『Number the Stars』 was translated under the title 'Counting the Stars', and it is one of those books that has a strange phenomenon where the original version sells better than the translated version because the English level of the original version is not difficult.
Although Lois Lowry's other work, "The Giver," is generally more famous, among aficionados who have read the original book, "Number the Stars" is rated higher in all aspects, including its emotional appeal, funniness, and easy English level.
* Meet the Newberry Collection!
This book, published as part of Longtail Books' "Newbery Collection," is a "customized original text" that reinterprets "Number the Stars" by Newbery Medal-winning author Louise Lowry for English language learning purposes.
- A 'workbook' containing vocabulary and quizzes organized along with the 'original text' is provided in separate volumes.
- You can easily read the original text without a dictionary thanks to the perfectly organized vocabulary list in the workbook.
- In the original text, the vocabulary in the vocabulary list is bolded, allowing you to memorize vocabulary naturally according to the context.
- The official audiobook, which is sold in the US for $25 (equivalent to 30,000 won), is included as a basic feature, so you can improve your listening skills as well.
* Highly recommended to the following readers:
- Elementary and middle school students preparing to enter international middle and specialized high schools
- English learners looking for easy and fun original books to read
- Learners who had difficulty reading English books
- English original book readers who want to get started with Newbery Medalists
