The Diary of Anne Frank - by Anne Frank

The story of a teenage jewish girl who goes off into hiding during the second world war. A great read and she's really famous.

Answer 2

Maya Angelou's life is fascinating, but not exactly the most G-rated, if that's what your school wants. It doesn't glorify any of these things, but there is sexual abuse, teenage pregnancy, drug use, prostitution. It is nothing graphic, and the way she transcends these obstacles is more inspiring than anything. Check with your teacher.
