Little Guides to Great Lives-Anne Frank is a biography written by Isabel Thomas and is for readers 7 to 11 years old.

Anne Frank was a German born Jewish adolescent who was forced into hiding in order to escape German Nazis. During this two-year period, Anne recorded in a diary her hopes, fears, short stories, and experiences. Sadly, Anne died at a German concentration camp from illness; she was only 15 years old.

The only survivor from Anne’s family was her father, Otto Frank, who made it his life’s work to share Anne’s diary with the world. Anne’s diary has since been read by millions and is often used today to educate people about the impact of war and discrimination.

This book did an amazing job of introducing Anne Frank’s life to young readers. The plot is simple enough to understand but so informative. It explains in a gentle way what millions of Jews had to endure during this horrific time in history. The author does a great job of briefly describing the personality of each person in Anne’s life, and the important roll they all played to ensure their survival. The language is easy for children to read and the interactive purple and red illustrations are perfect. I rate this book 5 stars and suggest it for anyone interested in Anne Frank’s life.
