Featured Article: In the Oral Histories of 9/11, Grief, Hope, and Heroism Find a Voice


Memories passed down through storytelling have been a vital part of culture since the dawn of civilization, and we've all had moments of pained reminiscence: Where were you on that day? There are few accounts more powerful than audio recollections of the lived histories of 9/11—their words, their voices, their stories all ensure we will never forget, that the passage of time will never erode the memory of those loved, lost, and left behind.

Best book ever

This book is incredibly good. I have never read a book that has had more history in it but also entertaining. This book is a great way to teach the new generations the true story behind 9/11!

Great book to share with your kids

My kids had to read this book at school and so I decided to join them by listening to it. The book brought back so many memories and emotions that I did not realize I still had regarding September 11. I had to put the book down several times to process the grief and emotions that the book brought back to me. I am thankful that my kids can read such a well written book to help give them a sense of what 9/11 was like.  Definitely worth your time to read and open up a discussion with your children.

Awesome Adventure in Ground Zero

"Ground Zero" is a thrilling book that's full of excitement! The story is about kids with amazing powers, and it's so cool. I loved reading about their adventures and how they use their abilities. The characters are relatable, and I felt like I was right there with them. The only thing I wished for was a bit more action - like more epic battles and challenges. But it's still a fantastic read with lots of surprises. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes superheroes and mysteries. I give it four stars because it's awesome, but I wanted even more action-packed moments! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wow

I listened to this story through tears. Just wow. So moved. I was thirteen when the attacks happened, watching the news on a little tv screen in a math classroom. This book took me back there.

Terrific read on a difficult topic

Love the way the story brings to light both perspectives of the main characters. As with all his books, Gratz draws the reader in and takes them for a ride.
