I really enjoyed this book. It is about a girl from a poor family and how she learns about the twin towers attack that took place in 2001 in New York. For some reason, the girl's father doesn't want her learning or hearing anything about this event. Why? (Nina. Grade 7)

I didn't really enjoy this book because it doesn't have a really interesting story line, it's about a girl who lives in Avalon Family Centre, her dad lost his job, so they were poor, she has 2 siblings, her mom works full time and Deja, the main character has no friends and feels embarrassed by her clothes. She arrives in her new school on the very first term, she is 2 rows away from the other new kid, Ben. She meets another of her friends, Sabeen. What they're learning in history currently is about he twin towers that fell down in September 9 2001, it got crashed by planes that were hijacked by Muslim terrorists. Her dad refused to let her learn about it, but she wanted to learn more about it. But why doesn't her dad want her to learn about it? (Ellery. Grade 7)
