About this book

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.
