Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5 Whenever one thinks of the Second World War and its devastating effect on youth, the name of Anne Frank surfaces. Leigh's biography attempts to relate Anne's story to younger readers. The approach is straightforward, with mostly single-paged chapters throughout the concise text. Readable background information is provided, shedding light on the war climate in Europe and Anne's personal dilemma of prolonged confinement. Readers will be intrigued by Anne's sensitivity, which is often highlighted by direct quotes from her original diary. Effective color illustrations are combined with photographs of the "Secret Annexe," Anne and other scenes of Holland under German occupation. Barbara Webber, Gordon-Barbour Elementary Sch .
