Description
Anne ran down the stairs and onto the A street as fast as she could, her skinny legs going at full pelt. She was meant to be doing her homework, but it was so boring. Margot, her perfect sister, might be happy sticking her nose in a book all day, but Anne wasn't.
She stopped when she reached the flat around the corner. Then she sang. breathlessly, through the letter box. Five notes up and five notes down. It was her secret signal.
The next moment Lies Goslar, her best friend, opened the door. Anne caught hold of her hand and pulled her outside. "Come on!" she said. "Let's go and play.". . . .
At the age of thirteen, Anne Frank went into hiding with her family to escape from the Nazis. For two years, she couldn't go outside or run or shout or laugh too loudly.
Instead, she poured her thoughts and feelings into her diary, which is now famous all over the world. This story of her life begins when she was still a carefree girl like any other. . . .
