The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel

In the midst of World War II, the Germans invade France and capture Jewish civilians. Ava and her family live in Paris. After their father is taken, they realize it’s time to run and hide, and try to escape to Switzerland. Ava also finds herself on a mission to help Jewish children escape and to preserve their names so they are not forgotten. This story of history, love, and heroism is not only hard to put down but leaves a lasting impression.
