In conversation with Talya Sokoll, school librarian, author of educational guides for YA and middle grade books, and mikveh guide.
Based on extensive research and published in cooperation with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, bestselling author Alice Hoffman delivers this stunning novel about one of contemporary history’s most acclaimed figures, exploring the little-known details of Anne Frank’s life before she went into hiding.
With the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the Frank family’s life is turned inside out, blow by blow, restriction by restriction. Prejudice, loss, and terror run rampant, and Anne is forced to bear witness as ordinary people become monsters, and children and families are caught up in the inescapable tide of violence. In the midst of impossible danger, Anne, audacious and creative and fearless, discovers who she truly is. With a wisdom far beyond her years, she will become a writer who will go on to change the world as we know it.
This event is free for middle and high school students.
