Abdelhamid The book is about a little girl that receives a diary for her birthday. The name of the girl is Anne Frank.Anne Frank writes down everything that happens in her life .One day Adolf Hitler ordered his soldiers to take all Jews to the camps he made to put them in. Anne frank's diary was left behind .Now it is a book that made Anne frank known all around the globe.


Allison Miller It's about a Jewish thirteen-year-old girl growing up during world war two when Hilter was in power. She lived in Amsterdam where Jews were being taken away to concentration camps and murdered. Anne (the girl who wrote this book) received a diary on her thirteenth birthday and she writes about her home and school life up until she and her family go into hiding with four other people in the back of her father's office. Anne and everyone else was taken care of by four helpers (they worked with her father and agreed to help them hide). Anne writes over the course of two years. She writes almost daily of everything that occurs while hiding.
This is based on a true story and this is a real diary left behind by this young girl. I will tell you that some parts can be a bit boring as she talks about basic day to day things for three-hundred pages, but this is a timeless story that everyone should read in their lifetime. I loved this story and would gladly read over and over again.

I was really thrilled to read the book but when it got to my hands I was a little disappointed because I literally was expecting more. In my opinion Anna is a spoiled girl and it's obvious if we see the way she judge things. To tell the truth I would like to read her sisters book, because in the way she described her sister, she looked like the person even thought they're quite they know how to judge lige for real

Had her sister kept and recorded a journal during her time hiding from Nazis, I'm sure you'd be able to read that account, but she unfortunately did not. Since this is an actual, real-life story of a young girl coming of age during a time of pure tragedy (it's not a story), I get why the language might be underwhelming, but I've never read or heard of someone wanting more from this book before - Interesting insight.
