Everyone knows about Anne Frank and her life hidden in the secret annex – but what about the boy who was also trapped there with her?In this powerful and gripping novel, Sharon Dogar explores what this might have been like from Peter’s point of view. What was it like to be forced into hiding with Anne Frank, first to hate her and then to find yourself falling in love with her? Especially with your parents and her parents all watching almost everything you do together. To know you’re being written about in Anne’s diary, day after day? What’s it like to start questioning your religion, wondering why simply being Jewish inspires such hatred and persecution? Or to just sit and wait and watch while others die, and wish you were fighting.As Peter and Anne become closer and closer in their confined quarters, how can they make sense of what they see happening around them?Anne’s diary ends on August 4, 1944, but Peter’s story takes us on, beyond their betrayal and into the Nazi death camps. He details with accuracy, clarity and compassion the reality of day to day survival in Auschwitz – and ultimately the horrific fates of the Annex’s occupants.

Encerrados en la casa de atrás es el complemento perfecto al Diario de Ana Frank, siempre que tengamos en cuenta que en este caso todo es ficción, claro está. Una novela que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la crueldad y los prejuicios del ser humano, a la vez que intenta ser el testimonio de un hecho...
I abandoned this book about 3/4 of the way through.This is a YA historic fiction retelling of Anne Frank's story, from the perspective of Peter, the boy whose family lived with hers in the Annex for two years. It's been many years since I read "The Diary of Anne Frank," but I remember the general s...
Even though it isn't non-fiction like Anne Frank's diary, this is based on stories. It was still fun to read though.
I have a teeny tiny confession to make, I've never read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl it's not even that I can't get a hold of one, I have a copy I've just never taken the time to read it. But possibly due to this some things in Annexed didn't make sense to me, like why where the Franks so m...
I would suggest this to any teen looking for a Holocaust story. It's easy to relate to Peter's swinging emotions as he's in the annex, and his feelings for Anne are sweet and complicated, though would possibly be a turnoff for some male readers? The majority of the book takes place in the annex, wit...
