Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Wartime Sarajevo: Revised Edition by Zlata Filipović

4.0

{my thoughts} - This book in my honest opinion is not a clear comparison to that of The Diary of Anne Frank. I enjoyed reading this book back when I was a child. I remember it was the first book I had ever gotten through a scholastic thingy from school. When I got the book I was so excited I read it cover to cover twice. I was in awe at the way it was written. An elven-year old girl wrote her diary in letter form. She had named her diary Mimmy. She write's to Mimmy about everything that is going on her life. A majority of the writing takes place by candle light and it helps her to work through her problems. I can't imagine being a child forced to live life during a war and seeing the devastating effects that it can have on them.
