“As expected, Gratz has delivered another powerful punch with Ground Zero. Brandon’s story begins on September 11, 2001, and Reshmina’s on September 11, 2019. How do they connect? With devastating narration, they tell their heartbreaking stories. Can they find common ground? Can the world? As we are reminded in the book, this is history for everyone now in school. We adults remember where we were. I was sitting with students who had parents working in the North Tower. Six of those parents never came home. Gratz puts us in the middle of the attacks with horrific accuracy and guides us back to hope.”
— Carolyn Roys, Anderson's Bookshops, Naperville, IL
