Summary- This is a story about a little girl who got a diary for her birthday and wrote in it every single day. In her diary she just talks about her life, family and everything they are going through. She is writing this in WW2

I cannot tell you how many times I've read the play version... probably at least three times throughout all of school. Personally, the other copy I have (the definitive version) which is the actual diary is much better.

situation in this attic and the seriousness of the fear that they lived is very suspenseful. It is a good book to connect middle school readers to what it was like for the Jewish community in this time and era. I remember reading this classic in middle school. I couldn’t get the images that were portrayed out of my head. This story is a must-read! I would give this book five stars! Show Less

Play based on The Diary of Anne Frank. It was good, a new, revisit of one read in high school. Read this with my granddaughter for her online schooling during Covid19 pandemic. So a book about lockdown during a lockdown.

those in the attic had to endure while hidden from the oppressive Nazi occupation in Amsterdam, and in such a setting the tension and bickering portrayed was sure to follow. The stage directions and dialogue for the actors are beautifully nuanced, hitting just the right notes of emotions throughout. The reader can easily picture the scenes as performed, and therefore have a greater insight into the actual events as depicted in Anne Frank’s diary. Show Less
