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.

Alan Gratz is a master at writing historical fiction and making it accessible for all readers. The perspectives in the book brought me to tears. It was a gut wrenching read to see Brandon trying survive the collapsing towers. It was heartbreaking to see how war and hate can spiral continuously. Timely and honest.
