Book Description
for The Bat-Chen Diaries by Bat-Chen Shahak
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Israeli Bat-Chen was killed at the age of fifteen, but her diary entries and poems remain as a record of her life, her emotions, and the universal teenage experiences. Her cries for peace and her awareness of daily danger help read ers not facing these issues understand life within a time of conflict. si
