The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles

In this book based on the true story of the American Library in Paris during the German occupation, Odile reveals the power of books to her young friend Lily. “Books and ideas are like blood; they need to circulate, and they keep us alive.” Odile teaches life lessons about moving on from mistakes, romance, sacrifice, betrayal, friendship, and how to treat people with dignity and compassion.
