This book is (you guessed it!) the diary of a young girl. A young girl with a horribly sad and terrifying story that is worth telling. It was recommended to me by my parents .They really really REALLY wanted me to read it, so I just gave it a shot, and it turns out I love it! I love learning about history.
If you didn't know this, Anne Frank was a jew during the time that jews weren't really appreciated in Germany.
It is very dense with information and sometimes she forgets to mention stuff from history because of course, it's a diary, so it's meant for her, and she already knows all of that stuff. So if you are going to read this, I recommend a little researching before starting the book. It's really interesting, because I kind of expected Anne Frank to be kind of like a kid with adult thinking, and for this book to be just her story, but it is really a diary, and she really is a 13-year-old girl. She talks about everything. Boys, her friends (she gives her two cents about each of them.), and, since she IS a teenager, about her millions of fights with he rmom and how she really "doesn't like her that much". She talks about her sister and how her life changes completely. I really recommend this book to any history lovers out there, or kids like me who like to really get inside the character's mind when you are reading a book.
