Ground Zero by Alan Gratz

3.0

Gratz creates two worlds that ultimately wind together at the end. There is a boy who is suspended from school and goes to work with his dad in the World Trade Center in NYC on September 11th, 2001. In 2021, a girl in Afghanistan tries to save her family and an American soldier who is injured by the Taliban. Will the boy and his father make it out of the tower after the plane crashes into the tower? Will the girl keep her brother from joining the Taliban? Will she be able to help the American soldier and save her family? How do the two stories intersect?
