Welcome to Litsy!

I figured today was a good day to read this. It‘s a fresh reminder of the horrors of that day and I can‘t believe it‘s been 23 years, it seems like it was just yesterday. This is a middle grade book and a good way to introduce kids to this subject, but it‘s a fast read for adults and I would recommend it to any age. 5⭐️ #ISurvived #911 #neverforget #historicalfiction

4🌟 While this is technically not a middle grade, I would recommend it for that age group as well. It's a good introduction to the events of the day.

This is a really good book It tells first person's view it rooks.

This HF, I survived book the attacks of 9/11 is such a wonderful book. I love the I survived book series, but this book in specific hits home. The book shares a different perspective of a fictional character, but still keeps the truth of the real event. This book will be great for SR and IR. Teachers can read the first couple of pages and discuss as a class or students can read it on their own.
