A graphic novel chronicling the immediate aftermath and rippling effects of September 11, 2001.
The consequences of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, both political and personal, were vast, and continue to reverberate today. Don Brown brings his journalistic eye and attention to individual stories to help teens contextualize what they already know about the day, as well as broaden their understanding of the chain of events that occurred in the attack’s wake.
When Michael Malone discovers his supernatural ability to alter reality, he is recruited by an organization dedicated to investigating strange and paranormal phenomena. He joins in hopes of finding his father, who mysteriously vanished three years earlier. Michael's first task is to solve the mystery of a dog he rescued from a precarious clifftop - a mystery that leads him to a strange and sickly classmate and a young girl who was killed in a devastating accident. Stakes are high as Michael learns to harness his newfound ability and uncover the deadly truth about his father's disappearance.
As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth by Lynne Rae Perkins is about two introspective teenagers, one who is lost in the Alaskan wilderness and another emotionally adrift at home, whose parallel journeys explore loneliness, resilience, and the small human connections that make survival possible.
