Anne Frank's Story

The life story of Anne Frank, from her early happy childhood in Frankfurt, growing up in Amsterdam, her two years in hiding and the last few months of her life in the concentration camps. Narrated in six clearly written chapters, this biography for children answers the many detailed questions about Anne that readers of the Diary often have, and includes interesting anecdotes from friends who survived her. There is an Historical Note at the beginning of the book and a map of Europe, so that children will be able to understand the situation at the time, and an Introduction by Anne Frank's cousin, Buddy Elias.

Reviews

It may be a trick from Hollywood - to put enough momentum into a story so that nothing in it lingers for long and nothing really hurts - but it works

—— Daily Telegraph

There is something of a good Channel 4 series in this engaging, froth-free plot . . . Good, heart-warming fare

—— Guardian

This book is a memorable celebration of the the power of friendship

—— Lesley Agnew, The Bookseller

Instant teen appeal

—— Sunday Telegraph

Teenage girls who have read the first three books will find this essential reading to round off the series

—— The School Librarian

As always, Chambers writes with the fierce intelligence and honesty which distinguishes his work. If more novels of adolescence had this quality and seriousness, we wouldn't risk losing those readers who feel patronised by teenage fiction

—— Linda Newbery , TES Teacher

A complex book . . . resulting in a believable and inviting world

—— School Library Journal
