The events surrounding September 11 did not look the same to everyone involved. Readers can step back in time and into the shoes of a New York Muslim student, a NYFD firefighter, and a Midwestern student as readers act out scenes that took place in the midst of this historic event. Written with simplified, considerate text to help struggling readers, books in this series are made to build confidence as readers engage and read aloud. Includes a table of contents, glossary, index, author biography, sidebars, and timeline.
