When I was 13, I thought this book was marvelous. Anne was just like me - rebelling against her mother, just beginning to become her own person. I wept when I read the Afterward that she died - I didn't know that all of those years ago.

Until 2014, I had not read Anne's diary. I pictured in my mind that it was depressing and bleak. What an awakening! It's upbeat, cheerful and full of life. Anne shares her heart, thoughts and dreams with her diary. At fourteen she is amazingly perceptive at times and at others so young and self-centered. I plan to share this one with a young teenage girl who is searching for a path through these troubled years. It's a treasured read.

There really wasn't much about the situation of jews in hiding during World War 2. Anne Frank wanted to write this diary to share her experience and those of her family during the war, but it was more of a coming of age story, her personnal story. I think it is a good book for girls who are starting to discover who they are, but not so much for history and World War 2 buffs.
