Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story

From the critically acclaimed author of Anything But Typical comes a “tense…and thought-provoking” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) look at the days leading up to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and how that day impacted the lives of four middle schoolers.

Ask anyone: September 11, 2001, was serene and lovely, a perfect day—until a plane struck the World Trade Center.

But right now it is a few days earlier, and four kids in different parts of the country are going about their lives. Sergio, who lives in Brooklyn, is struggling to come to terms with the absentee father he hates and the grandmother he loves. Will’s father is gone, too, killed in a car accident that has left the family reeling. Naheed has never before felt uncomfortable about being Muslim, but at her new school she’s getting funny looks because of the head scarf she wears. Aimee is starting a new school in a new city and missing her mom, who has to fly to New York on business.

These four don’t know one another, but their lives are about to intersect in ways they never could have imagined. Award-winning author Nora Raleigh Baskin weaves together their stories into an unforgettable novel about that seemingly perfect September day—the day our world changed forever.

De la autorul aclamat de critica „Anything But Typical” vine o privire „tensionata… si provocatoare” (Kirkus Reviews, recenzie cu stea) la zilele care au condus la evenimentele tragice din 11 septembrie 2001 si la modul in care acea zi a influentat viata patru elevi de gimnaziu. Intrebati pe oricine: 11 septembrie 2001, a fost senin si minunat, o zi perfecta - pana cand un avion a lovit World Trade Center.
