Towers Falling
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
2018-2019 VSBA nominee. In the author’s note, Rhodes asks “How do I write a book that might inspire youth to become even better citizens?” The best books, in my opinion, focus on transforming a main character from thinking she is the center of the universe to finding a better understanding of her place in the world. This novel was a success in that. I appreciate the focus of 9/11 and the many sides of a complicated and scary hour in history. It asks the reader why history matters and then does a bang up job at showing why.
