Review: "Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story" by Nora Raleigh Baskin

September 11, 2001 was a perfect, beautiful day--until two planes hit the twin towers. In "Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story" by Nora Raleigh Baskin you live through the two days leading up to September 11 from the perspectives of four sixth graders all over the United States. You feel the experience of living through one of the most trying times in our country's recent history, and see the hope and unity that washed out everything else. This book is about our tragedy, but more than that it will help you understand how we took that tragedy and made it into a way to find ourselves in other people, even if they are not exactly like ourselves. Appropriate for readers in grades four to six. Click on the link above to reserve a copy.
