The Diary of Anne Frank (Abridged for young readers)

Best book ever!!!

I bought this for my 11year old granddaughter as she was curious about the goings on during the Second World War and the atrocities, thought that she would not really get into it, my goodness she enjoyed it, had a tear while reading it. An excellent book.

Purchased this for my 9yo to read as shes been learning about the war as part of her school work. she said it is nice to have some photos to look at too.

Person took extracts and interpreted Anne's thoughts and didn't leave the reader scope to develop own empathy or thoughts. Bought for 12 year old grand daughter who gave up after 1st chapter and read original. Very disappointed.

I wondered about reading this to my kids (9 and 12 at the time) but it's a book every young person should be aware of and prompts lots of discussion. This edition is slightly abridged but not hacked and disjointed, it still flows and where passages have been removed there are explanatory notes to explain why.Highly recommended.

The book, intended as a gift, arrived very damaged: creased and dinged on the reverse and also along the top edge. The outer packaging was fine, so the book has been packed already in a damaged state.The book itself is highly recommended, this being a second purchase of the same book.
