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.
