The Memory of Things
by Gae Polisner
3.5 star RATING
This is my first book about 9/11 and because of this topic, I wanted to read it. I was only in first grade on 9.11.2001. So, I wanted to read a book in the POV of someone who was experiencing it.
Kyle's school has let out when the first plane hits the Twin Towers in New York. He's walking home when he discovers a girl, wearing wings and leaning over the bridge. Kyle quickly discovers that the girl has amnesia when she simply can't remember her name.
Kyle has to take care of his Uncle Matt, who is paralyzed from a motorcycle accident three months ago. His father is helping the victims through a few nights and his mother & sister are stuck in California.
One thing that threw me off by this book was the romance I felt that it wasn't needed as much, and I was hoping the book would focus more on Kyle's struggles and the girl finding her way back home.
I would recommend this if you're looking for a Young Adult book about teenagers experiencing 9/11.
