People would remember that day with all sorts of adjectives: serene, lovely, cheerful, invigorating, peaceful, quiet, astounding, crystalline, blue.”
-- Narrator(Prologue)
The tragedy of September 11th was so sudden, so enormous, and so horrendous...this country and the world went into immediate and prolonged shock.

pick“nine, ten,” follows 4 middle school students dealing with life and all its normal transitions on the day before 9/11 and how their lives changed as a result. I recommend this for #middlegrade students learning about 9/11. Would be a good one for parents and children to read together.

A friend just told me about this book the other day. It's for a younger audience, but has anyone ever read it? #redwhiteblue #awesomeautumnbooks #neverforget #fallintobooks
pickFinished this yesterday on 9/11. It was completely engaging, believable and kid-appropriate. Can't wait to share it with my students who were all born after 2001.
pickA short, intense, beautiful book. It's targeted at a middle grade audience, and the story reads like a middle grade book, but the prose is so much more aware and mature. I haven't read much at all about 9/11, it somehow feels both sacred and like a myth, and I never know how to feel. But this book made me cry.
Spotted this one at my favorite children's book store. I think this is going to be an important book for my school library. And I hope to read it with my daughter.
pick"This is such a well-told, thoughtful story about a time in our history that changed the world as we know it. Many young people today have no understanding of the scope of the tragedy & how it altered everything...A must read!" Reviewed by Thalia https://goo.gl/2Y5lNp
