Hello class,

I am currently reading “Odette’s Secrets” by Maryann MacDonald. Odette a young Jew living in Paris during the holocaust. Throughout the book, Odette is very scared that she will be taken away just as her father was weeks ago. Odette and her mother are now trying to protect themselves from the Nazi Germans while trying to live a normal life. But when things get taken too far and Odette and her mother are almost caught and taken to a concentration camp, Odette must leave town. How can she leave the very place she has lived in her whole life? How can she leave her home? Will her mother come with her to the country side? Will she every see her father again?

If I were Odette I would be very scared! I am sure its not easy being a little girl that is being chased after by the Nazis. The character that has changed the most throughout the book is Odette’s mother because, at the beginning of the book she is happy and joyful. But the closer the Nazis get to Paris the more afraid and strict she becomes. I really admire Odette because she is very brave. Her father was taken from her and now she has to leave her home to live with strangers. But Odette doesn’t fuss at all, she sucks it up and manages to be brave through all of this madness.

thanks,

Savannah B
