This book named, The Diary of a Young Girl is also known as , The Diary of Anne Frank . This is book is all about the diary of Anne Frank. This book is written by her on her own life as hiding from 1942 to 1944 during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War 11. Anne Frank was a German born Dutch- Jewish diarist and the thing is this book is one of the World’s best known book.
During World War II, a girl (Jewish) named Anne Frank and her family were forced to hide in the Nazi occupied Netherlands. There was a shopkeeper there in Netherlands named Kraler. The shopkeeper hides two jewish families in his attics. Anne Frank had a habit of keeping a diary with her, about the everyday life of their family in Nazi’s Netherlands and the threat of Nazi’s as well.

The Diary was retrieved by Miep Gies and he gave it to Anne’s father, as he was the only survivor after the war was over.
The important characters in the book were,
Anne Frank – a thirteen year old girl , and received a diary which would change the world. Mr. Frank – a man who will do anything to keep his family safe.
Mrs Frank – Wife of Mr. Frank.
Margot – Anne’s older sister.
Peter – son of Van Daan’s .
Mrs. Van Daan – Wife of Van Daan .
Mr. Van Daan – He helped Frank in hiding .
Mr. Dussel – a dentist.
If I talk about myself, I liked the character of Anne the most in the book , as she had a lot of courage.One can see her astonishing bravery. Her behaviour, the way she made it feel happy sometimes is just amazing .
Anne Frank’s writing style was easy to read. Her way of writing is basically proffessional and journalistic too. Her tone in the book feels like anger, irony and humor . Her writing style at the age of 13 was liked throughout the world after the war when she died.
People who love mysteries, people who has an interest in reading historical things related to war. It also contains some sad portions also, it’s heart- touching beautifully written book . I recommend everybody to read this book as it doesn’t contain any fictious story it’s truly based story.
