I loved the perspectives and how the story traveled back and forth. I also love how he connected characters and made their stories, while very different, intertwined. Great read!

Fantastic. As usual, Gratz has us seeing beyond a black-and-white view of the world.

Wauw, wat een boek. Een must have voor elke bovenbouw van de basisschool en onderbouw van de middelbare. Een levend geworden geschiedenisles die gebeurtenissen én de gevolgen van 9/11 op een rauwe, echte en gevoelige manier beschrijven. Een heftig boek, zeker, maar zo belangrijk.

Interesting story but I didn't feel as though Reshmina's parts lacked depth.

This had a lot of eye-roll moments and some that made me remember the events of 9-11 and become teary-eyed. I see why kids like Gratz, but it was a strong 3 star from me.
