A simple and moving account of the life of Anne Frank, the girl who evaded the Nazis for two years before finally dying in Bergen-Belsen. This biography journeys from her happy early childhood in Frankfurt to her youth in Amsterdam, and from her years in hiding to the final months of her life in the concentration camps. It also answers common questions about Anne’s life, and includes memories from her surviving friends, a historical note and a map. A perfect accompaniment to Anne Frank’s remarkable diary, this book adds to her story, exploring a young life tragically cut short by war.

This is the story and diary of Anne Frank, a normal Jewish girl whos life completely turns around when her family goes into hiding. She has to make some tough decisions and begins a brief romance with an older boy from another family who are also in hiding. This story will bring tears to your eyes and make you laugh and keep you on the edge of your seat all at the same time. The Frank family are betrayed by the people who own the attic they are hiding in but Anne’s diary ends before they are betrayed. This story made me appriciate how lucky I am not to be in hiding and to use the freedom I have instead of watching TV all day.

loved it
I went to Amsterdam with my school when I was in year 6 to see where Anne had to Hide. It was a really important school trip for me & memorable as I was almost the same age & couldn’t imagine keeping quiet for so long! Every child should READ this book to remember how lucky we are not to have to hide & enjoy the freedom we have
