Little, Brown Books for Young Readers Towers Falling

Purchased for my kids. Both eagerly read it and enjoyed. They did both like Nine, Ten better. I did not read it myself to check fir any inaccuracies.

Extraordinary!In the same league as "The Little Prince"!

I recently bought this and all I have to say is it’s amazing how good it is Is

Wow . . . I love a book that once I’m done reading, it leaves me thinking about all the connections I am making now that it is over. While the narrator is only in fifth grade, that fact quickly falls away when the teacher explains to the students that they will be working on a new curriculum this year. The story focuses on the relationships of three students and their families. Deja who lives in a homeless shelter, dears anyone to give her a hard time or the other new student in class. She finds herself intrigued by the girl who always has a smile for her. As these students find their “communities” they also learn about 9/11 and how it relates to not only themselves, but all Americans. Charming, thought provoking, a definite keep in my library.

Excellent book. Would be a great read aloud for late August/September. Really shows the reader different long term effects of 9/11, helping see situations are more than meets the eye. 5th grade and up to understand and grasp the seriousness of what happened and how real these characters could be. We do a lot to remember 9/11 in my class but still felt 4th graders weren’t quite ready for this.
