What I liked:

I liked how this book didn't shy away from the horrible ways people died in the towers.

What I didn't like:

I didn't enjoy Reshmina's parts as much as Brandon's. Honestly I would have been content with a book more focus on the events of 9/11 and yet its also nice to see the aftermath of said events years later.
The ending of the book felt too simplistic in its "CLEARLY this is what we should do to fix all of our problems" type of explanation.

Overall:

I really did enjoy this book and if it weren't for Reshmina's parts I would have given this a 5 stars. This book should be in every schools reading curriculum it's a great introduction for kids to learn about 9/11.

VRC #4! This was a hard read, the content was way more intense than I expected it to be. But I really liked the view it gave from both perspectives.
