Roth Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann (high school level) Love is the Higher Law by David Levithan The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein On That Day by Andrea Patel New York's Bravest by Mary Pope Osborne Refugees by Catherine Stine September Roses by Jeanette Winter Shine, Coconut Moon by Neesha Meminger Shooting Kabul by NH Senzai This Place I Know: Poems of Comfort edited by Georgia Heard We All Fall Down & United We Stand by Eric Walters What Will You Do for Peace? Impact of 9/11 on New York City Youth by Faith Ringgold //102 Minutes: the Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers // by Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn - (One of the survivors of the towers wrote that this is the most accurate book detailing what happened inside the towers after the planes struck) It reads like a novel and focuses on specific individuals inside the towers on that day. At the end of the book the reader discovers who survived and who did not. Very sad but hard to put down. //Among the Heroes: United Flight 93 and the Passengers and Crew Who Fought Back// by Jere Longman – Short bios of the people on the flight and also of some of the terrorists. Very interesting. The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon (ills) is on my must read list for....everyone (or anyone who will listen to me). :) After 9/11 and The 9/11 Report, by Sid Jacobson, both done as graphic novels . They are excellent sources of information presented in a highly accessible way. Appropriate for MS or HS.
