The Diary of a Young Girl
question
when do kids typically read this book

I read this book in 6th grade. I recommended it to a niece last year. She read the play version in 8th grade. I thought 6th or 7th grade was a good time since that is how old Anne was when she wrote. Are schools shying away from the book and doing the play rather than the diary itself to "shield" kids?

5th or 6th grade but i was probably in 4th when i read it
Macedonia has a different educational system, so let's say, I read it when I was 12, I think.
I read it when I was 10 years old and I'm glad I did. I think more than ever it's important that kids know the world is not all about social media and Hunger Game movies. What Anne went through was horrifying and real and dwarfs the issues most children face today.

True, Thierry, I've come across several young people lately who thought this was a novel and were very critical of how "poorly written" it was. You co

I read this book when I was in 7th grade. I ordered this cover edition from Scholastic booksThe Diary of a Young Girl. I thought it was the most profound book I'd ever read at the time and I began keeping a diary as a result of having read the book.
I read it in ninth grade and i felt that i was mature enough and was able to relate to anne really well considering i was the same age as her in the later, and more frequent part of the journal.
I had originally read the play in eighth grade and it was nothing like the actual book. The book was so much better and I wish schools would lend that out instead of the play.

I read it on my own time this year. Me and my siblings never read it in school. Quite a shame really, cause it's an unbelievable piece of work! Not to mention she is only like 12 years old.
I read this as a teenager and again in my twenties.It was not on the School Curriculum so I chose to read it myself.I feel it should be part of a History compulsary read so the tragedies are never forgotten.It beings up strong feelings within me that too many people got away with atrocities of this magnitude.Just as guilty the people who turned a blind eye.
They read it whenever they pick it up and decide to read it. Lol.
