Publisher's Description of Anne Frank (Graphic Lives)
When she turned thirteen years old, Anne received a gift that would change her life: a personal diary. In it, she expressed her desires, fears and hopes while living in confinement with her family during World War II. After the war, despite her early death, her diary became a shocking testimony about the persecution of Jewish people, and an invaluable contribution to the fight for human rights.
A series based on the lives of some of the most notoriously significant names in history, these graphic novels will give your students an engaging way to learn about famous people of the past in a way that is relatable. Geared to grab the interest of reluctant readers, there is no reason why any young reader who enjoys a comic book wouldn't benefit from these books. Complete with a biographical excerpt about the historical figure, a listing and description of movies that tell the story of the character, and a glossary of terms. Discussion questions and writing prompts can be used if the books are used within a curricular context. Each book is around 80 pages and includes a list of suggestions for further reading, recommended internet sites, and an index. ~ Judy
