Odette's Secrets
Author: Maryann Macdonald
Desc: For Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris nowhere is safe. So when Odette Meyer’s father is sent to a Nazi work camp Odette’s mother takes desperate measures to protect her sending Odette deep into the French countryside. There Odette pretends to be a peasant girl even posing as a Christian–and attending Catholic masses–with other children. But inside she is burning with secrets and when the war ends Odette must figure out whether she can resume life in Paris as a Jew or if she’s lost the connection to her former life forever. Inspired by the life of the real Odette Meyer this moving free-verse novel is a story of triumph over adversity.
