Hidden Like Anne Frank

 

This book had several short accounts of people - mostly younger children and some teens who were hidden during the Holocaust like Anne Frank.  I had a NetGalley version of the book which I found a bit distracting - some of the font was red and some was in the wrong place.  I found the stories to be interesting but were often too short to get invested in each person.  

As a member of a student book award committee I am primarily reading to determine what might get on our list.  Our list is for grades 4 - 8.  Some of the stories dealt with sexual encounters so I will not be able to recommend it for our list.  I thought the book was good but not appropriate for our students.
