Two Perspectives of a Horrifying Day

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023

I used this book in conjunction with the nonfiction "What Were the Twin Towers?" to compare/contrast fiction and nonfiction and in preparation for writing a comparison/contrast essay. The student that I am working with prefers to read nonfiction, but he enjoyed reading the fictional account on the same topic because it made the event personal. His description.

Good timeline of September 11th events.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

The attacks of September 11, 2001 happened before I was born. I have heard many stories from the adults in my life about that day. Ms. Tarshis does a great job of creating the character, Lucas. The reader lives that horrific day through his eyes. The author does a good job of letting us know how Lucas feels about the things that are happening. I felt that the strongest point in the book was the desperation of Lucas to find his dad and Uncle Benny (both of which were firemen).

One of the things I felt was less than realistic was an 11 year old running around New York City by himself. I guess it could happen but I would think that trying to get into a city that large and by yourself you would be asking for trouble. I thought it would have been more believable if Lucas had been with an adult. I also felt it was unrealistic that Uncle Benny made it out of the building alive. One fire fighter carrying one injured person on their back and leaving their fellow firefighters didn't seem very likely. If Uncle Benny had responded with his company immediately, the likelihood that he would have started down the stairs in time to flee the building before it collapsed is not very believable. Most of the firefighters who perished were some of the first ladder companies to respond. Ladder Company #4 lost an entire shift of firefighters. Their loss was the most among one Ladder company in New York City with 15 firefighters dead.

I think this book is great for kids who want to learn about the attacks of September 11th. This date caused a huge change in our country's national security and affected the personal privacy of every citizen of the United States. The Patriot Act came directly from this attack on our country's soil and was implemented to allow all security agencies in the United States to communicate with one another to stop future potential terrorist attacks. The way the author leads us through the time line of the events that day helps give a person the chance to see just how quickly things happened.

This day was a tragedy and made the United States realize that things like this could happen in our country. We now have the alert system and it seems that every single day we are in an elevated alert status. As more terrorist attacks happen across the world we must continue our efforts to combat these forces of evil that take innocent lives in the name of religion.

I bought these with my 3rd grade and 1st grade daughters in mind. Yes, they've enjoyed them (perfect for grades 2-4 or so) but my kindergarten and preschool sons have totally loved them, as well. These are fictional accounts based upon true events, and my sons particularly enjoy these stories read aloud, over and over again. We will definitely purchase more of the collection.

I just started homeschooling my son(11 years old, in 6th grade) this week. I bought this book to incorporate into my lesson about September 11th. I planned on reading a couple chapters of the book each day, all week. However, we both liked the book so much,we finished it in 2 days. It kept my son engaged,asking questions, etc. It did bring back memories of the attacks for myself, and made me quite emotional,but honestly, that's not a bad thing for my son to see. After reading the book, he asked to see pictures of the World Trade Center,he wanted to know the names of the people who were there, he wanted to see pictures of the memorial and museum. Very good book,and I look forward to getting more books from the series.
