Ground Zero is a number one New York Times bestseller The plot
starts at a heart-pounding pace and never relents... A contemporary
history lesson with the uplifting message that humanity's survival
depends on us working for, not against, one another. A must-have. -
School Library Journal In time for the twentieth anniversary of
9/11, master storyteller Alan Gratz (Refugee) delivers a
pulse-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge
and fear - and the stunning links between the past and present.
September 11, 2001, New York City: Brandon is visiting his dad at
work, on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center. Out of nowhere,
an airplane slams into the tower, creating a fiery nightmare of
terror and confusion. And Brandon is in the middle of it all. Can
he survive - and escape? September 11, 2020, Afghanistan: Reshmina
has grown up in the shadow of war, but she dreams of peace and
progress. When a battle erupts in her village, Reshmina stumbles
upon a wounded American soldier named Taz. Should she help Taz -
and put herself and her family in mortal danger? Two kids. One
devastating day. Nothing will ever be the same. Suitable for
classroom reading With two action-packed perspectives, Gratz
powerfully explores the ways in which the past shapes the present
Don't miss Refugee, Grenade and Allies by Alan Gratz. REVIEWS With
his signature accessibility and insight, Gratz tackles events on
both U.S. soil and abroad in Ground Zero..... Ground Zero will
appeal to middle-grade readers, who were born after the events of
9/11, and to those adults who lived through it and will never
forget. - Booklist Gratz moves back and forth between the two
narratives in short, nail-biting chapters that create a vivid
picture of each setting and make readers feel invested in each
character's relationships and choices, and in the high-stakes
global forces that affect the intimate details of their lives.
-Horn Book Gratz's deeply moving writing paints vivid images of the
loss and fear of those who lived through the trauma of 9/11. -
Kirkus This tautly paced novel explores the events of that tragedy
and the subsequent American response through two parallel story
lines. - Publishers Weekly
