This book follows four children from diverse backgrounds in the days leading up to the attacks on September 11, 2001, their experiences that day, and where they are one year later. Rather than focusing on the horrific events of the day, the book instead focuses on the children's individual lives, de...
Having read Falling Towers about a month ago I can't help but compare the two. Nine, Ten: A September 11th story fell very flat for me. I got a bit emotional reading Falling Towers. This one was a bit boring, the only emotions I really felt was reading the author's own experiences and why she wrote ...

A sweet coming of age book. A story about how blooming personalities change a friendship. My daughter really enjoyed this book mainly because she has an aunt very close in age to her and she could relate to the main characters through personal experience.

This book was less a novel than a series of vignettes showing a group of middle school kids coping with the jungle that is middle school. We have Elizabeth whose mother is a dog boarder and who always is covered in dog hair. She is also a talented writer. We have Stewart who acts like the typical bu...
Surfacing is a quick read, but I liked it. I liked the premise of her almost magical ability that draws the truth from people and I love the themes of grief and blame that ultimately give way to forgiveness, so I knew that I needed to read this one. Maggie was an enjoyable character and I saw a ...

I almost didn't read this book because the beginning of the book didn't catch my attention and hold it as fast as I would have wanted but I'm glad that I stuck with this book because it turned out to be a good read.This is one of those coming of ag...
