Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story
Description
From the critically acclaimed author of Anything But Typical comes a touching
look at the days leading up to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and
how that day impacted the lives of four middle schoolers. Ask anyone:
September 11, 2001, was serene and lovely, a perfect day—until a plane struck
the World Trade Center. But right now it is a few days earlier, and four kids
in different parts of the country are going about their lives. Sergio, who
lives in Brooklyn, is struggling to come to terms with the absentee father he
hates and the grandmother he loves. Will’s father is gone, too, killed in a
car accident that has left the family reeling. Naheed has never before felt
uncomfortable about being Muslim, but at her new school she’s getting funny
looks because of the head scarf she wears. Aimee is starting a new school in a
new city and missing her mom, who has to fly to New York on business. These
four don’t know one another, but their lives are about to intersect in ways
they never could have imagined. Award-winning author Nora Raleigh Baskin
weaves together their stories into an unforgettable novel about that seemingly
perfect September day—the day our world changed forever. Read more
