It is Anne's thirteenth birthday. She writes that she woke up at six o'clock because she was excited, but since she couldn't get out of bed so early, she had to wait for about an hour to open her gifts. The first present she received was the diary she is now writing in. She calls this the nicest gift of all. Anne also received flowers, a game, candy, a puzzle, some books, money and a brooch. Later at school, she writes that she gave everyone sweet biscuits. She ends this entry by saying that she and her new diary are going to be great friends.

This diary is going on to become one of the worlds most personal recounts of the second world war. As a jew Anne explores what it is to have to wear the strange yellow star, and eventually she has to hide in a secret annex with her family. This is my favourite book of all time and i re-read it all the time(i have read it about 9 times since i was 9) this is well worth reading and really tears at the heart strings.
