I just finished this touching, yet troubling book. Odette's Secrets is a first person account if a young Jewish Girl living in Paris during the Nazi occupation.
What I loved about this book is how easily it flowed. It is written as a verse novel (one of my favorite styles of writing). I also loved the author's note at the end when she tells us where she got her ideas - about the real Odette. I would have put this at the beginning, but maybe it's more powerful at the end when we have come to identify with and care about Odette.
This book is a bluebonnet book for 2014-2015. It's not at all what I expected, but I look forward to sharing it with students.
