Ground Zero / Alan Gratz.

Gratz, Alan, 1972- (author.).

Summary:

Two kids. One devastating day. Nothing will ever be the same. September 11, 2001, New York City: Brandon is visiting his dad at work, on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center. Out of nowhere, an airplane slams into the tower, creating a fiery nightmare of terror and confusion. And Brandon is in the middle of it all. Can he survive--and escape? September 11, 2019, Afghanistan: Reshmina has grown up in the shadow of war, but she dreams of peace and progress. When a battle erupts in her village, Reshmina stumbles upon a wounded American soldier named Taz. Should she help Taz--and put herself and her family in mortal danger? In time for the twentieth anniverary of 9/11, master storyteller Alan Gratz delivers a pulse-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge and fear--and the stunning links between the past and present. -- Provided by publisher.
