The Diary of a Young Girl abridged for younger readers and published in memory of Anne Frank, who died 70 years ago, just weeks before the end of World War II. Sensitively edited and with a connecting commentary by editor, Mirjam Pressler, the abridged edition of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank gives younger readers their first introduction to the extraordinary diary of an ordinary girl who has long become a household name. This abridged edition has a short prologue written by the editor, Mirjam Pressler, as well as a connecting commentary. There are beautiful line drawings, family photographs, and an Afterword to explain why the Diary ends so abruptly. This shorter edition is suitable for younger children who want to read Anne's diary for themselves.

This book is all about world war 2 and Anne’s mother and father get killed and she has to move countries from Germany to Australia. There are sad parts but there is a happy ending.

I thought it was a really good book. A little bit sad, but I loved it. It was really interesting to find out what the Nazis did to the Jews.

I found it interesting as I like learning about world war two but the home life. I liked it because it felt like Anne was talking to me

This book was written in a formal way as Anne talked about her life in hiding and the poor conditions they were in.It really made me think about my life and makes people who read this book grateful for what they have. I think both boys and girls would enjoy this book but it is best for people who like reading long books about history.
