Susanna writes fiction and non-fiction for Usborne. Her favourite things to write about are small monsters and talking animals. She used to live in London but now lives in a cottage on the edge of some woods. She is only sorry there are no bears or witches in them.

• Chapters in this book include:- Living free- Broken glass- Invasion- The secret annexe- Westerbork- The camps- Anne Frank's Diary- Timeline

The narrative style helps bring the awful story alive and is a super stepping stone to encourage young readers to pick up the diary that Anne painstakingly wrote while she was in hiding... written in a way that reflects the nightmare that Frank and hundreds of thousands of people lived but is finely tuned for a young audience.
