klwest21 's review for:

Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
4.0

YA fiction about how fifth graders in Brooklyn learn about 9/11 and what happened. Main themes of the book also are about how 9/11 impacted the families of the students and the teacher.

It also deals with other tough issues like kids facing homelessness, changing schools and the trials and what you can find online.

I thought the book was great, but tinged with some definite sadness and heartbreak.
