On par with Alan Gratz' Ban This Book comes a fictionalized yet based on a true story of the author's experience of book censorship at her school. In this book the town also has strong options of dress codes, candy, and pizza delivery among other things. Themes of parental mental health are also worth mentioning.

Brimming with emotion, I refolded the letter and cradled it in my hands. The chestnut colt—I‘d have to think of a name for him—was watching me with an impish look that promised adventure, and I smiled back at him with complete and utter satisfaction. Now this was a day to end all days . . . or to begin them.

I was recently asked about the opioid crisis on a medical school interview. I answered from my perspective in healthcare and outside knowledge of the matter. I feel like this book gave me an insider‘s insight and I'm thankful for it.
I had a hard time getting into it at first, spent 6 days reading until 45 % and 1 day reading the rest. This book is beyond addiction, it is about parenting, siblings, friendship, bullying, unconditional love, and +.

Towers Falling | Jewell Parker Rhodes

The skyline's changed. The two rectangular towers in the photo are gone, replaced by one glittering tower with a pointy top pricking the sky.

Towers Falling | Jewell Parker Rhodes

Students can explore themes of perseverance, empathy, and shared history as they follow Deja on her quest to learn about 9/11 and its impact on her family and community. This book helps with talks about how historical events impact individual lives and the world around us. Students who engage with Deja's story can have a greater understanding of the connections between history and their own lives.

Pickpick

Jewell Parker Rhodes' Towers Falling expertly combines fact and fiction, mixing 9/11 history with a contemporary, emotionally charged narrative. Rhodes brings history to life in a personal and sympathetic way by following Deja, a fifth-grader who is investigating the tragedy's impact on her family and neighborhood. The detailed descriptions of New York City's skyline, both past and present, give the story a strong sense of place and loss.

So Luci, with her hands on her hips, decides to just give Coach the answers. “We are the Wildcats. And as of this moment, you‘re fired. Now get the fuck off our field.”
