Towers Falling
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
3.5 rounded up.
This is a powerful middle grade story about a group of children who learn about 9/11 for the first time. Told from Deja's perspective, a young African American girl living with her family in a New York City homeless shelter. Her father has a personal connection to the twin towers she slowly discovers as the story unfolds. Deeply moving and a must read for this new generation of children who were born after the evens of that day. Highly recommended. I listened on audio, read by the author herself. I wasn't a big fan of the narration but I'm sure it reads better in print. So much to love about this book published on the 15th anniversary of that momentous day in American history!!
