“The Diary of a Young Girl” written in letters by Anne Frank, is particularly interesting to teenagers and middle schoolers because of how real the book is. As the entries were written by someone experiencing the suffering, the book is very immersive and Anne’s depictions of her everyday life in the Annex is relatable to teens her age, and yet so unbelievable because of the conditions she was forced to live under.
