This review lacks a clever title


By Izzy B.

If you like a fictional account of a real story then Sarah's Key is a perfect book for you. Even though it might be confusing because the book is coming from Sarah Starzynski's  point of view and Julia Jarmond's  point of view. Sarah is a young Jewish girl whose family is being taken to a concentration camp, but Sarah's little brother doesn't want to go so he has Sarah lock him in their hiding place. Sarah promises that she will come back soon for him. Will Sarah get him safely, will Sarah make it? Read the book to find out.


Julia Jarmond is an American journalist who is researching about the 1942 Velodrome  d'Hiver roundup. Julia finds out that she is intertwined with Sarah's story. She finds out that their are many lies about her being linked to Sarah that she even starts to question her our romantic future with her husband. She wants to find out if Sarah is still alive and if she can find her to get more information on what happened in the tragic past. Will Julia find Sarah and will she get to ask Sarah about her tragic past?
The things I liked about this book are that it gives you two sides from the same story. Also that it leaves wanting more and more, plus wondering what will happen next,and that they are both having their worlds changed around.  What I didn't like this book is that how that the characters aren't real. You could get Sarah's Key at your local book store and or school library too,
