The First Graphic Adaptation of the Multi-Million Bestseller
‘12th June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.’
In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse.
Aged thirteen when she went into the secret annexe, Anne Frank kept a diary in which she confided her innermost thoughts and feelings, movingly revealing how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with the daily threat of discovery and death.
Adapted by Ari Folman, illustrated by David Polonsky, and authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation in Basel, this is the first graphic edition of the beloved diary of Anne Frank.

Reviews
Having read Anne Frank's diary many, many years ago and remembering its powerful effect on me then, I wanted to explore this graphic novel as a new way of seeing the book. I haven't always been a huge fan of graphic novels, but I'm coming round to them.
The illustrations are beautiful and add an emotional depth, particularly where they depict Anne's imagination and dreams.
Before buying, I had thought it would go in my Y6 book corner for our WW2 topic. However, although I will be using parts of it in class, I feel that some of the content is more appropriate for accessing independently in at secondary age.
