so-soI enjoyed the first few chapters of this collection of short stories loosely linked by the character of the book‘s title. From about halfway, the book feels like it‘s lost its way a bit - which in a way reflects the loss of a way of life due to “progress”, but always makes for a less interesting read.
Meanwhile, the feminist in me is grateful she doesn‘t live in a culture that doesn‘t treat women as chattels.

I had to look up books for this on Google because I didn‘t know and this book is one of the books that came up. I didn‘t know that there were middle grade about 9/11. When 9/11 happened, I was 11 years old and in 6th grade. My older brother and I still went to school that day. My mom didn‘t pull us out of school. My mom said that a lot of parents pulled their kids out of school that day.

@Karisimo my pick is the same as yours. There‘s also one in the I Survived series but I haven‘t read it.
Want to share @kspenmoll @TheBookHippie

Is it just me or is it weird that stories about 9/11 are considered historical fiction?!? But what better way for kids to learn and connect with this major event in the U.S.! So today, let's share books that you would recommend to young readers that center around the events of 9/11. #middlegrademonday
