The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani

4.0

I love that this book exists. The historical content in a format that is accessible to young readers is so important. I think the characters and themes of this book are also relatable even beyond the historical time and place, which adds to the humanization and empathy towards the characters. The author did a great job tying everything together through the eyes of a 12 year old girl.
The letter/diary writing format didn't work for me personally, but Nisha was an incredible voice nonetheless.
