Summary
From the critically acclaimed author of Anything But Typical comes a touching look at the days leading up to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and how that day impacted the lives of four middle schoolers.

Ask anyone: September 11, 2001, was serene and lovely, a perfect day--until a plane struck the World Trade Center.

But right now it is a few days earlier, and four kids in different parts of the country are going about their lives. Sergio, who lives in Brooklyn, is struggling to come to terms with the absentee father he hates and the grandmother he loves. Will's father is gone, too, killed in a car accident that has left the family reeling. Naheed has never before felt uncomfortable about being Muslim, but at her new school she's getting funny looks because of the head scarf she wears. Aimee is starting a new school in a new city and missing her mom, who has to fly to New York on business.

These four don't know one another, but their lives are about to intersect in ways they never could have imagined. Award-winning author Nora Raleigh Baskin weaves together their stories into an unforgettable novel about that seemingly perfect September day--the day our world changed forever.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Sergio, a math whiz, is headed back to New York after a trip to Chicago. Nadira, uncomfortable at a new school where her head scarf earns her funny looks, is at the airport to greet family. Aimee's mother is headed to New York on a business trip, while Aimee and her dad fly home to L.A. Will and what's left of his family after his father's sudden death are returning to Pennsylvania. Over the course of two days September 9 and 10, 2001 this follows these four characters through the ordinary days before the event that rocked a nation. Baskin's novel reminds readers that our lives are interconnected in ways we might never understand; by focusing on four young characters, she underscores the effects September 11 had on those involved and those bearing witness. By adult standards, this is perhaps a bit too neatly tied up, but it is a gentle introduction to a difficult topic for young readers, many of whom will be too young to remember the events firsthand.--Lesesne, Teri Copyright 2016 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "For a generation of readers born and raised after 9/11, Baskin (Ruby on the Outside) offers a powerful account of how the events changed lives. Her cast is made up of four middle-school students who briefly cross paths at Chicago's bustling O'Hare Airport two days before the Twin Towers fall. Characters include Will, a Pennsylvania boy still grieving his father's death; Aimee, settling into her new home in Los Angeles while her mother is on a business trip in New York City; Brooklyn native Sergio, who has just won a national math award; and Nadira, a Muslim girl from Ohio who is trying to fit in by not wearing her "beliefs on her sleeve." Hours before the hijackings, the children are preoccupied with family and peers, but after learning about the terrorist attacks, all are deeply and personally touched in some way, their problems put in new perspective. There are no graphic displays of violence; Baskin focuses on how her characters emerge wiser, worldlier, and more sensitive to others' pain after surviving a profound and tragic piece of history.
