Promotional Commercial for Number the Stars

Here's your task:  Write the dialogue for a short commercial that will promote Number the Stars.  The goal of your promotional script is to influence others to run to the store or library and obtain a copy of the book.  Motivate your audience, but don't tell them too much.  Reveal only enough information that keeps them begging for more.
