Annexed
By Sharon Dogar(352 Pages)Ages 12+ Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt , 2010
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? This is an incredible story of Anne Frank, reimagined through the eyes of Peter, the teenage boy who was locked in the Annex with her.
In this powerful and gripping novel, 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 was 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 the group's 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.
