Noah has always been proud of his father--a brave New York City firefighter. So Noah is thrilled when his dad plans a special outing for Noah's 11th birthday--they're taking a school day off to spend in the city, just the two of them! The morning of September 11th dawns bright and clear. But in just under an hour, everything changes--forever.
[Tarshis] crafts a dramatic, emotionally intense tale that takes account of 9/11's physical and emotional costs -- short- and long-term -- while ending on an upward beat.
