This audacious novel is Peter van Pels's first-person, present-tense chronicle of life in the Annex with the Frank family. Interspersed are his thoughts in the Mauthausen concentration camp, where he reflects on the fate of his parents and Anne's family. The novel provides a new look at Anne Frank--speculative, of course, but in no way contradicting her own famous diary.

Memories of his older sister's accident the year before haunt fifteen-year-old Hal when his family returns to the seaside site of the tragedy. As Hal tries to piece together what happened (assisted by his sister's voice in his head) he also falls in love. Tragedy and romance are entwined in this eerie story.
