Last week I started reading a book based on 9/11, called Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story, by Nora Raleigh Baskin. This book takes place in America. Before 9/11, America had been in World War II. The book focuses on four different middle-schoolers around the country who are affected by the attacks on September 11, regardless of whether or not they witnessed them. Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story is a fictional story, but it is based off of real-life historical events that happened on 9/11. The facts on the attacks are true, but the characters are fictional. In America, people were very surprised and scared after hearing about the attacks. In the book, the characters are also frightened from the attack. They have family members or friends who are affected or involved in the incident, just as people were the day the attacks took place. There are a lot of connections between the book and the historical events of 9/11 because the book is historical/realistic fiction. This book does not focus too much on the details of the attacks, but more on how the four main characters were affected by it. If you want to know more about this book, click here.

The book first starts on 9/9, then 9/10, then 9/11. I thinm it's called Nine, Ten because those are the two days before 9/11.
