Anne Frank was amazing. This great book really made an impact on me! It was tragic yet wasn't as extremely mournful as it could have been but I would suggest it for people 11 and older. This story is child's look on World War II. Anne Frank, her family, and very loyal friends went into hiding at an old office building in Amsterdam. They had many arguments, happy times, small romances, and through it all, Anne Frank, a 14 year old girl had her diary. She wanted to be a writer and publish a copy of the journey after the war. Unfortunately, she couldn't do that herself because of her tragic death. Although, her father could, and he handed it over to publishing company and after a few years, it was a hit all over the world. Anne Frank has lived on through her extraordinary writing. It was an amazing book that can change your life. It is heart wrenching yet great and I would suggest it to any age from 11 to 99. I would not read the afterword if the main novel made you cry, because it talks about Anne's death and it is truly excruciatingly sad. This young girl's vocabulary was amazing and she was extremely intelligent. I absolutely loved this book and I would suggest it to anyone.

Towers Falling Review
*****(3 out of 5)
Towers Falling, by Jewell Parker Rhodes was a novel full of mixed emotions. It was very sad story and has many descriptions of 9/11 so I would suggest it for children 10 or older. Spoiler Alert This tory is about a 10 year old girl named Deja, who has had a tough life. Her father is sick and depressed from his experience during 9/11, her mother constantly working, and two young siblings that Deja has to take care of. Also, they live in a one room apartment with no kitchen. Deja has to cope with a lot. And when Deja goes to a very nice school she meets her first good friends, she learns about diversity from them. While in history class they slowly learn about 9/11, and Deja becomes more curious about what happened to her father on that horrible day. Deja and her friend set off to the memorial and skip school in the process. Deja was truly touched by the horrific amount of peoples' lives that were destroyed. After they were caught, Deja's father told her all about his excruciating experience in 9/11 and Deja finally understood her father for the first time in years.
Apart from the dejected yet interesting story line, I would say that the writing was terrible for the appropriate age group. The events in the novel were meant for a preteens to be informed about this terrible and monumental day. Although the vocabulary was written for a 7 year old. Those aspects of the novel do not match and that makes the story too easy for the appropriate reader. So all in all, I wouldn't read this book again because of its easy words and horrific events.
