Chronicle Supposing Books Odette's Secrets

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.

Katelyn has been reading this book for a week, and she talks about it every night and asks so many questions, so I decided to read it. It's a quick one day read, and I couldn't put it down. It's based on a true story of a Jewish girl in Paris who had to leave with 3 other young girls and live with a family in the country to escape the Nazis. Odette is only 8 years old when she has to leave her mother, and I just kept thinking of Katelyn being the same age and I just can't imagine her going

Told in verse, very accessible. At first I didn't think this was going to cover any new ground, but I really liked how the very act of keeping a secret affected Odette. The people she trusted most in the world have told her to lie. And then, the fact that she found the saints and medals and various Christian rituals very comforting, but knew that they irritated her mother (when she later joined her in the countryside) is an interesting dynamic. Also, feeling safer in the country and not wanting

Maryann Macdonalds Odettes Secrets is a fictional retelling of a young Jewish girls life in hiding during the Nazi occupation of France. This middle-grade historical fiction novel brings little new to the genre of Holocaust fiction, but is a strong introduction to the topic in the same tradition as classics such as When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, or Number the Stars. Odettes story opens as WWII is just beginning and persecution of Jews in France is escalating. After Paris falls to the Nazis,

Odette lives in Paris with her mother and father. They are non-practicing Jews and have a good life in Paris. Then the Nazis come into power and things begin to change. First her father joins the French Army and is taken prisoner by the Germans. Then the Nazis start rounding up the Jews of Paris. Odette's mother is prepared however and Odette gets sent to the Vendee countryside with several other little girls. They are going to hide in plain sight not as Jews but as Christian girls escaping the

Odette and her mother are living during the war and have to act like Christians until the war is over. I liked because it was intense and all the hiding sounds painful. I would reccomend this to boys or girls who like tragic stories.

This true story of a young Jewish girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Paris is told in verse. Odettes father is sent to a Nazi work camp and her mother works hard to protect Odette. As the Jews in Paris are steadily more badly treated, Odette has to wear a yellow star on her clothing and is unwelcome in many places in the city. Even at school, Odette is bullied for being Jewish. When their apartment is raided in the middle of the night, Odette and her mother hide in their landladys cupboard. After

"My name is Odette. I live in Paris."Odette Meyers lives with her parents in an apartment building in Paris and spends a lots of time with her godmother, Madame Marie, who is also the building's caretaker. Odette is around 5 when the Second World War begins. Her father and uncle immediately enlist in the French army, but are soon captured and sent to a Nazi labor camp. Despite the war, life is OK until the Nazis march into Paris and changes drastically for everyone. And Odette quickly learns
