a brilliant adaptation

I read the newly illustrated version of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, also known as The Diary of Anne Frank. The new graphic adaptation is called Anne Frank's Diary adapted by Ari Folman with illustrations by David Polonsky.

This is a gorgeous, brilliant adaptation of Anne's story. 

From GoodReads:

The only graphic novelization of Anne Frank's diary that has been authorized by the Anne Frank Foundation and that uses text from the diary--it will introduce a new generation of young readers to this classic of Holocaust literature. 

This adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl into a graphic version for a young readership, maintains the integrity and power of the original work. With stunning, expressive illustrations and ample direct quotation from the diary, this edition will expand the readership for this important and lasting work of history and literature.

This graphic novel format will appeal to new readers and those who have already read Anne’s Diary of a Young Girl. Hopefully her story will never be forgotten.

Get this book for all the young readers in you life.
