Eleven by Tom Rogers

This book was gut-wrenching to read. It walks you through Alex’s birthday as he turns 11 on 9/11. He spends the day caring for his sister, rescuing a stray dog and worrying that his father will never return home. As someone who remembers that day very clearly, I can’t imagine what it was like for real New Yorkers who were there. How terrifying and scary. This book does an amazing job of illustrating all the emotions that went through our minds when the Twin Towers were hit that fateful day.
