About the book

'A story of resilience, hope, and finding yourself in a complicated world.' For fifth grader Deja, it's tough enough starting school in a new neighbourhood. Projects about her home and family only highlight how different she is from her classmates. But when Deja receives an assignment on the two towers missing from the skyline out heir classroom windows, she sets off on a journey of discovery. With new friends Ben and Sabeen by her side, Deja learns more about who she is, how her community can grow and heal, what happened on September 11, 2011 - and what it means to be an American.
