  Bestselling author Alice Hoffman delivers a stunning novel about one of contemporary history's most acclaimed figures, exploring the little-known details of Anne Frank's life before she went into hiding.Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl has captivated and inspired readers for decades. Published posthumously by her bereaved father, Anne's journal, written while she and her family were in hiding during World War II, has become one of the central texts of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust, as well as a work of literary genius.With the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the Frank family's life is turned inside out, blow by blow, restriction by restriction. Prejudice, loss, and terror run rampant, and Anne is forced to bear witness as ordinary people become monsters, and children and families are caught up in the inescapable tide of violence.In the midst of impossible danger, Anne, audacious and creative and fearless, discovers who she truly is. With a wisdom far beyond her years, she becomes a writer who will go on to change the world as we know it.Critically acclaimed author Alice Hoffman weaves a lyrical and heart-wrenching story of the way the world closes in on the Frank family from the moment the Nazis invade the Netherlands until they are forced into hiding, bringing Anne to bold, vivid life.Based on extensive research and published in cooperation with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, When We Flew Away is an extraordinary and moving tour de force.Perfect for Alice Hoffman fans and readers of every age."Adding new poignance to a story whose ending we already knew, Alice Hoffman has deftly recreated the child Anne Frank with all her wit, mischief, and uncertainties. This fictionalized account of the increasingly desperate years that preceded the famous diary breaks readers' hearts one more time. But it reminds us of how important it is to remember and honor all that was lost." -- Lois Lowry, Newbery Award-winning author of Number the Stars“We can highly recommend Alice Hoffman’s novel of Anne Frank’s life, set in the dramatic and terrible circumstances of those first war years. We hope it will persuade young readers that contributing to a better world is both necessary and possible,” says Ronald Leopold, Executive Director, Anne Frank House.

  In the heart of New York City in Central Park, stood the Central Park Zoo—a haven for creatures great and small. The zoo was abuzz with excitement as the holiday season approached, and anticipation hung in the frosty December air. 
  It was a crisp morning when a delivery truck rumbled to a stop outside the zoo gates. Zookeepers and staff gathered around; curiosity piqued as they wondered what surprise awaited them. The truck's doors swung open, revealing a sight that took their breath away—a graceful giraffe, her long neck craned elegantly as she peered out. 
  "Is that...?" gasped one of the zookeepers, unable to believe their eyes. 
  "Yes, it's a giraffe!" exclaimed another, awe-struck by the unexpected arrival. 
  The giraffe, named Kazi, had travelled all the way from the vast plains of South Africa to join the Central Park Zoo family. With gentle coaxing from the zookeepers, Kazi stepped out of the truck, her large brown eyes taking in her new surroundings with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. 
  "Welcome, Kazi!" called out the zoo director, a warm smile spreading across his face. "You're going to love it here." 
  And so began Kazi's journey in her new home. At first, she felt a bit out of place among the concrete jungle of New York City, far from the open savannas of her homeland. But as she explored her enclosure and met the other animals, she soon discovered that friendship knows no boundaries. 
  The monkeys, with their playful antics, were the first to greet Kazi. Swinging from branch to branch, they chattered excitedly, inviting her to join in their games. Kazi found herself amused by their antics, her long neck craning to watch their acrobatic displays with a mixture of wonder and amusement.

  One prayer can change everything, says bestselling author Tricia Goyer in Prayers That Changed History.  Martin Luther. Sojourner Truth. Helen Keller. St. Patrick. We read their stories, and of other people like them, in history books and hear about the amazing things they did to change the world. But one part of the story is often left out: Each one of them wouldn’t have accomplished what they did without prayer.  In Prayers That Changed History, the stories of twenty-five notable people are presented along with how prayer changed their lives and changed history. Following each historical example is a biblical story that ties to that person’s life and actions, as well as ways you can use the power of prayer in your life as well. Because God isn’t done changing the world yet, and he would love to use you to make history.
