Guest Book Review

Hi everyone! I have been on vacation for much of the last part of August, so that's why you haven't seen any posts from me. But I am gearing up for the fall, so watch for more announcements and book reviews.

In the meantime, here's a quick book review from Katie, a member of our Teen Advisory Board:

Love, tragedy, horror - these elements take readers for an incredible ride in Sarah’s Key, a New York Times bestseller by Tatiana de Rosnay. The novel alternates between the lives of two characters, both extraordinary in their own right - ten year old Sarah Starzynski, betrayed by her own country and a victim of horrific Holocaust events in the 1940s, and Julia Jarmond, a modern-day woman who struggles with her love life while uncovering the secrets of a past no one wants to remember. Readers will devour this heart-wrenching, page-turning novel as they discover the connections between Sarah and Julia; it will remain a favorite for many years to come.

Thanks, Katie!
