Sarah's Key

My favorite book would have to be Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. Tatiana de Rosnay was born September 28, 1961 in Paris. Since 1992, de Rosnay has published twelve books in French and only three books in English. Her most popular book just happens to be Sarah's Key. Sarah's Key in about two people. One is Sarah Starzynski, a ten-year-old Jewish girl from Paris. The other is Julia Jarmond an American journalist living in Paris. Julia is writing an article for the sixtieth anniversary of the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup (a round up of jews in Paris). Sarah's parents and her are being arrestes durin the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup and she does not want her little four-year-old brother to stay behind, yet he refuses to leave the long, deep cupboard hidden in the wall. Sarah then locks him in so no one can find him. He had water, a flashlight, a Comtesse de Ségur book, and his favorite teddy bear in the cupboard. Sarah did not know how long it would be before she could return home. Julia discovers Sarah's name and finds out what happened to her. This is probably my favorite book because it is unlike like any book I have ever read before. I had to wait so long to find out what happened to Sarah and her family. I never wanted to put the book down and I just found out it is a movie!
