Book Review of Sarah's Key

Sarah's Key
HausMaus avatar reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


I've read and studied a lot about the Holocaust, but had never heard of this horrifying atrocity. The author brings it to life, from the perspective of a young girl. The first book in 4 years I've read cover-to-cover, staying up 5 hours late to finish it. I HIGHLY recommend it, with one caution. Although Sara is about 10 when she tells us her story, this is NOT a book for children and may be too distressing for 'tweens and young adolescents. It would be great required reading for Juniors and Seniors in high school.
