TWHEN WE FLEW AWAY
BY ALICE HOFFMAN
The story of what might have been ANNE FRANK'S life before she began her famous diary.
HERE IS A DAY you never forget, the day the whole world changes. When you close your eyes, light becomes dark, night never ends, beasts walk freely down the street, stars fall from the sky. You were young one second, and then you were far too old. You lived years in minutes and decades in weeks. You wanted to travel, you wanted to grow up, you wanted to be beautiful, you wanted to fall in love. You wanted so much that your heart broke in half, but half a heart is better than none, and your heart is stronger than anyone would guess. You remember everything.
“How wonderful it is that no one has to wait even a minute to start gradually changing the world...”
ANNE FRANK
ALICE HOFFMAN is the acclaimed author of over thirty novels for readers of all ages, including The Dovekeepers, The World That We Knew—winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize—The Marriage of Opposites, Practical Magic, Incantation, The Foretelling, and most recently, The Invisible Hour. Her previous novels for Scholastic Press are Aquamarine, which was made into a major motion picture, Indigo, Green Witch, and Green Angel, which Publishers Weekly, in a boxed, starred review, called “achingly lovely.” She lives outside Boston.

THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE was established on 3 May 1957 in cooperation with Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father. They are an independent non-profit organisation that runs a museum in the house where Anne Frank went into hiding, with the aim of raising awareness of the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and discrimination and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy.

READ THE FIRST CHAPTER
JEZ SMITH is a passionate zookeeper, animal trainer, conservationist and storyteller, who submitted this story as part of Scholastic’s popular ‘Share the Love’ open submissions day, a once-a-year opportunity for aspiring writers to send in their picture book manuscripts. At the time they chose the winner, Scholastic had no idea that the author actually works at the renowned Auckland Zoo, where he can often be found flying birds, captivating audiences and sharing stories that make a difference.
NED BARRAUD
is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s top wildlife illustrators so was the perfect choice to illustrate Jez’s book. Nelson-based Ned has authored and illustrated a number of children’s books, including the ‘Explore and Discover’ series on our ecosystems, as well as Scholastic’s own Tuatara, a Living Treasure and Ruru, Night Hunter, written by Katie Furze.
MEET
PU AND RU!
Pu the pūkeko and Ru the ruru pose a series of rhyming clues for children to solve. Whose beak belongs to whom? And who has the best beak?
Long beaks, short beaks, scooping beaks and gobbling beaks — you’ll spy them all with our funny, feathered friends! A
Jez Smith’s clever rhymes are enhanced by humorous commentary from two onlookers (and selfappointed judges), Pu and Ru, while Ned Barraud’s detailed and funny illustrations offer a sneak peek of each beak. Can you guess whose beak it is before turning the page?
