Description
Ground Zero is a heart-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge and fear. On 9/11, two young people's lives were forever changed.
The story begins with Brandon, visiting his dad at work in the World Trade Center, where an airplane slams into the tower, creating a fiery nightmare of terror and confusion. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, Reshmina stumbles upon a wounded American soldier named Taz, forcing her to confront the harsh realities of war.
Two perspectives, one devastating day, nothing will ever be the same. This powerful exploration of how the past shapes the present is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history and its ongoing impact on our world today.
