Disclaimer: I received an ARC in a Goodreads.com giveaway. This does not affect my review. All We Have Left by Wendy Mills Published by: Bloomsbury Genres: YA Fiction Pages: 365 Rating: 5/5 Summary: This story jumps between two girls' points of view, in two different time periods. Presently, sixteen-year-old Jesse is a high school student who had lost her brother in the September 11th attacks. She starts to hang out with the wrong crowd in high-school causing her to face the past and reveal more details of her brother's death. The second viewpoint is from sixteen-year-old Alia in 2001; she is a Muslim girl who finds herself trapped inside the Twin Towers as they are attacked. The story beautifully illustrates how both girls' lives are related. Pros:
Last Thoughts: This novel seems to be geared towards young adults, who, like me, may not fully remember the events of September 11th. This story did a great job of reminding me of how so many people's lives changed that day and continue to be affected today. |
