AUDIENCE APPEAL:  HIGH

This is an introduction of Anne Frank and her diary and how she wanted to be heard for young readers.

It’s been more than 80 years since Anne’s diary was published, so this book would be a good introduction for young readers unfamiliar with her.  There isn’t any new information but it is a good reminder of what happened and the timeline at the back is a nice addition.  This could be a good jumping off place for students to learn more about Anne Frank, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust.
