Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve completed 139 books this year and have a little less than 6 hours left, so I‘m going to read this book about Anne Frank to get an even 140. It‘s been in my Kindle list for months and I just haven‘t made time for it. I don‘t currently teach 8th grade (and thus the play adapted from her diary), but I‘m always on the lookout for more resources to share with students.

There are lots of books with stars on the cover. The middle one though, is very disturbing. #sisforseptember #stars

Great middle grade children‘s book about Anne. I hope this becomes required reading.

1. Yes!
2. 5-10% is non-fiction. Trying to read more.
3. History/biography
4. So many that I‘m sure I can‘t remember! I‘ll say The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel.
5. I‘m reading the tagged book right now. Excellent book on Anne Frank for middle grades.

This book should be in all the schools. It explains not just about what happened to Anne Frank and her friends and family but what was going on in the occupation and the war. You can tell it is written to make it easier for kids to read but also doesn‘t try to disguise the horrors that really happened.

Such an important children‘s book! I have always felt Anne a friend after reading her diary as a 12 year old. This is a well explained book for children how it all happened. Read my review at Goodreads! #NetGalley. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2474750926
