I've been substituting at a local elementary school library, and this was a book that I brought in to read aloud to the older students. Nine, Ten is a Mark Twain Award nominee for 2018-2019, and after reading it, I can definitely understand why. Every book I've read in regards to September 11 is about the events that took place that day, and the devastation that followed. This book is different, as it begins two days before the attack, and follows four kids in different parts of the country. The kids don't know each other at all, but each one's life is going to be affected in the coming days. Nine, Ten is a great representation of the different people we have in our country, and how important it is not to judge a book by it's cover.
