A review by thunterstrickland
Ground Zero by Alan Gratz

4.0

Ground Zero, like we have come to expect from all of Alan Gratz's novels, grips readers from the very first page and doesn't let go until the last. Seamlessly weaving in two masterful storylines from both the U.S. on 9/11, and Afghanistan years later, the characters in this story grow in remarkable ways while a non-stop plot keeps readers hooked. Gratz, as always, informs readers of the history they don't know about major events, and crafts a twist that only the cunning can see coming. While examining the causes and effects of the War on Terror, Gratz leads readers to analyze the root causes of war and the social discourses that grow and fuel them. Another masterpiece!
