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

This is a story about a young 11 year old girl named Zlata Filipovic it is a non fiction story.She starts off writing in her diary about her normal everyday life, then she gradually starts to write about the war in Bosnia during 1992 and how it affects her childhood and family.She also writes about what she thinks people/children might be feeling. This story is about a young girl that is forced to mature at a much faster rate. I enjoyed reading this book because it is written in a different style, it is written in a child's perspective on war and how she handles it and her family. I quite disliked the fact that the book gets a bit boring as she repeats many of her things, but I think this is something that is supposed to happen because this is a diary entry. This book may not be as fun as fiction story's but it teaches you a lot of things. This is a diary of a young girl and her perspective on the war, it is a life changing story.
