    About this ebook

    A deeply moving play remembering September 11, 2001, written by high school students who witnessed the tragedy unfold.

    A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age
    “Profound.” —Booklist
    “Moving.” —Publishers Weekly
    “Rings with authenticity and resonates with power.” —School Library Journal

    Tuesday, September 11, started off like any other day at Stuyvesant High School, located only a few blocks away from the World Trade Center.

    The semester was just beginning, and the students, faculty, and staff were ready to start a new year. But within a few hours on that Tuesday morning, they would share an experience that would transform their lives—and the lives of all Americans.

    This powerful play by the students of Stuyvesant High School remember those who were lost and those who were forced to witness this tragedy. Here, in their own words, are the firsthand stories of a day we will never forget. This collection helped shape the HBO documentary In the Shadow of the Towers: Stuyvesant High on 9/11.

      I was in the middle of reading this book when Osama Bin Laden died. Even though I think everyone has a healthy interest in 9/11 I have more interest in the events than most teenagers who were only eight at the time of the attacks because I have a cousin who worked in the twin towers but thankfully survived but the play format in which they play different characters but tell their own story is kind of confusing. The book was very interesting to a point, I was interested in hearing everyone's accountant so I finished reading the entire book but I found it sort of difficult because it got boring near the middle when all the stories tended to start to be the same. They heard the boom, saw the smoke, were evacuated...etc. They were great stories and I have alot of respect for these students and faculty and those who perished but I found the way they spoke to be very annoying they often used um sometimes even three times in a row like um, um, um I saw the um smoke and well uh the smoke well the smoke was heavy and...so the wording was a little frustrating to follow and hard to understand by the time you read the four ums you had forgotten what the actual words before that were. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what a students perspective was from ground zero and if you can get past the format and wording it's very informational.
