Product Description
There is a day you never forget, the day the whole world changes. When you close your eyes, light becomes dark, night never ends, beasts walk freely down the street, stars fall from the sky. You were young one second, and then you were far too old. You lived years in minutes and decades in weeks. You wanted to travel, you wanted to grow up, you wanted to be beautiful, you wanted to fall in love. You wanted so much that your heart broke in half, but half a heart is better than none, and your heart is stronger than anyone would guess. You remember everything.

It's 1940 in Amsterdam. 11-year-old Anne Frank and her older sister Margot can buy ice cream when they want. They can sun themselves on the roof of their apartment. They can meet up with friends and walk the streets unafraid. And Anne is full of dreams for the future. She attends a special school that focuses on the arts. Her family escaped from Germany, and Holland is a place of freedom and respect. Anne plans to be an actor or a writer and to live in California one day. But when the Germans overthrow Holland, all that changes. A powerful story that honours the experiences of the Jews during World War II and all that they lost, with excellent historical research.
