The best thing about this book is wise the young girl is. Yes every thing is taken away only the vital things remain and as a result she is wise beyond her years. The trauma though, the poor girl she knows she is suffering and so it continues. I am so grateful to her for writing this diary I learn from her. Did she really write it this way or has it been altered?

Lexi C. The book was written by Zlata but was edited and therefore slightly altered.

Does anyone know how to get a copy of this in the original Serbo/Croatian? I thought this would be a fun book to read with my husband since he speaks Croatian, but there are no copies on the internet and as far as he can find no book stores in Zagreb that sell it. Has anyone had any luck getting either a digital or physical copy of the original recently?

where is this quote found? “My diary became more than a place to record daily events. It became a friend, the paper that it was made of was ready and willing to accept anything and everything I had to say.” ― Zlata Filipovic

Would this be appropriate for grades 5-8?
