Meet Alice Hoffman!

 A Stunning Middle Grade Title You Won't Want to Miss!

Join us for the launch of When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary, the new novel by literary icon ALICE HOFFMAN! In this affecting novel, we explore the little-known details of Anne Frank's life before she went into hiding. 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.

In When We Flew Away, 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 will become a writer who will go on to change the world as we know it.
