Review: I SURVIVED THE ATTACKS OF SEPT 11 2001 by Lauren Tarshis


The events of that fateful morning played out so dynamically and exuberantly. Kaboom! Wow! Down they went.

Two weeks before, we hear the story of a boy named Lucas, whose uncle got him into sports. With his dad being a NY fireman, his uncle was really there for him and his family. The memory of his dad’s fire accident still haunted him. One of the most horrible days of Lucas’ life was the doctor suggesting he not play football anymore because he’s had so many concussions. He didn’t realize it that a much larger problem was looming ahead.

The images of the smoke coming out of those towers were just jaw-dropping. Wow! The pictures looked like war.

After the day of Sept 11, Lucas realized what was more important in life.

A wonderful depiction of a tragic attack and a pivotal event in U.S. history. An awesome read!
