What is the mood in the book Number the Stars by Lois Lowry?

Answer 1

Gathering Blue makes a lot more sense if you've also read The Giver. Both books are about an oppressive government in a dystopian society, although I feel that The Giver explains and shows this more fully.

Gathering Blue's theme, per se, is basically coming of age, and loss. The book's main character, Kira, loses her mother at the beginning of the novel, and over the course of the story, comes of age to become the newest seamstress. While she's stitching, she discovers that there is no blue thread. I think that the theme of 'blue' here, is actually an abstract concept, representing something we've lost and can't quite remember. Which, in turn, I think is a metaphor for freedom and/or childhood.

Answer 2

The mood in "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry is generally one of tension, fear, and suspense. It captures the seriousness and danger of living in Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War II, as well as the courage and resilience of the characters facing these challenges. There are also moments of hope and friendship that provide a contrast to the darker aspects of the story.

The setting is a mythological world that has creatures such as tykes and beasts.
