Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
3.0

I liked this book and would recommend it for the 3rd-6th grade set. For a generation who knows nothing about the reality of 9/11, it's an instructional read coming with understanding humanity. Rhodes covers all the stereotypes in a classroom of kids who have to do a history project not only on the September tragedy, but to discover what makes us "American".

The story could have been a little deeper, but for 8-11 year olds, I think they'd get a lot from the story.
