A Friend Called Anne: One Girl's Story of War, Peace, and a Unique Friendship with Anne Frank

(4) 4-6 Retold by Carol Ann Lee. Emphasizing personal experiences, van Maarsen recalls events from her childhood, when she and Anne Frank were friends. Though Anne is distanced from readers through the "as told to" format and the main character (van Maarsen) has no compelling characterization, readers meet an Anne removed from the familiar context of her immediate family, an exuberant girl sharing confidences with her friends. Reading list, timeline.
