September 11, 2001: The Day the World Changed Forever by Héloïse Chochois, Baptiste Bouthier

4.0

This is the first graphic novel I have read in probably 6 years but I was immediately intrigued by a graphic novel about 9/11. The "main character" in this is actually a French woman, and the story rotates between facts/timelines of 9/11 and following days in America, and how other countries (like France), heard and responded to the attacks. The story talks about months and years following the attacks and how the world shifted - NSA, Patriot Act, war in the Middle East, and even some other terrorist attacks in other countries. The story ends with the French woman from the beginning making it to NYC and going to Ground Zero.

This story shared a bit of a different perspective and, I think, does a good job of giving an overview of not only that day in history, but what followed. I would recommend this especially to middle and high schoolers who are learning about 9/11 as a day in history, rather than remembering that day in their own memories

Thank you NetGalley and Europe Comics for a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
