YA Book Review: Ground Zero by Alan Gratz

On September 11, 2001, 9-year-old Brandon finds himself in the World Trade Center separated from his father by many floors. Reshmina is an 11-year-old girl living in a remote Afghan village and is also fighting for the endurance of her family. The author tells both of their survival stories with heartfelt sympathy, and at the same time delivers a fast paced and exciting novel.  I can assure you that you will not see the twists and turns in this book as both Brandon and Reshmina find themselves in very dangerous, yet different situations. 
I recommend this book for students in grades 6-9.
