As we commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11, we need to take into account that there is a generation that is growing up with never having known otherwise. Relaying the information of an experience on that day must feel insurmountable for parents and educators alike. With Falling Towers, we are lead through a realistic, everyday existence by Deja, our protagonist. A young girl with hardships and struggles that someone at such a young age should not be made to face. Deja's believable voice, perspective is diverse and sorely needed in today's literature. Even as an adult, I was completely moved by this young girl's trials and journey. Falling Towers is an important resource in broaching a seemingly impossible subject with a young audience and I simply cannot recommend it enough.
