📖Recommend for Grades 7 and up📖
by Wendy Mills
Two girls, one event, each with
their own story. All Muslim Alia was doing was visiting her father at work; she
never thought she would find herself in the midst of a terrorist attack. Jesse
doesn't remember her brother Travis, but her life has been shaped by her
families’ response to his death on September 11, 2001.
A truly compelling story with dual
narration set 15 year apart. Readers will find themselves hooked waiting to see
what happens to Alia as a result of 9/11. When it comes to Jesse, readers will
empathize with her and the way her life is after the attacks. This story is as
much about healing and understand as it is Alia and Jesse. A wonderful and
touching story about somebody at the Twin Towers that day and the life of
somebody who wasn’t, but whose life has been shaped by it.
