Twenty Years After 9/11: Chapter Books

9/11/2021 marks the twentieth anniversary of the attacks on DC, Manhattan, Arlington, and Stoneycreek, PA. These books share different perspectives on the attacks and what life was like from various perspectives. Read these with your family members and open a discussion on what this date was like for them, and how we have changed since as a nation. 

For more discussion, we invite readers aged 10-13 to join us for This is Not a Book Club on 9/27/2021. We will be discussing Alan Gratz's latest novel.
