Quotation marks!) “I know we can’t leave here!” Anne Frank (pg.123)

13. Good reasons to read the book:
The story behind this book is great to read if you are a young girl. This book is very intriguing, suspenseful, exciting, cruel, and unfortunately sad. If you were one of those kids who loves to read about another person’s interesting life, then I would definitely recommend this book.

14. Any reasons not to read the book?
I personally think if you are very emotional this is not a book for you.

Did you like this book or not? And why….
I thought this book was great! It was great hearing about a Jewish child in the time of the Holocaust! How it was like when they were very young during a killing spree of over 6 million Jews! If I was in a situation such as that one I would be very shocked and scared.
