On the day that shocks the world, one boy just wants to find his family. A powerful addition to the gripping I SURVIVED series.
The only thing Lucas loves more than football is his Uncle Benny, his dad's best friend at the fire department where they both work. Benny taught Lucas everything about football. So when Lucas's parents decide the sport is too dangerous and he needs to quit, Lucas has to talk to his biggest fan.
So the next morning, Lucas takes the train to the city instead of the bus to school. It's a bright, beautiful day in New York. But just as Lucas arrives at his uncle's firehouse, everything changes -- and nothing will ever be the same again.

This kid really likes football, and he gets a concussion and can never play football again. So he goes to see his uncle in New York, New York, as he arrives, a plane crashes into tower number one.after a while, another plane crashes into tower number two, and he survives.
This book gives a good point of view from a young person's eyes of 911. I am enjoying the detailed description of how the attack looked from the perspective of a kid.
awsome
this is an amazing story about this kid.
This book is kind of sad hearing about all the people who have died. But if you like history kind of books this would probably be good for you! Its for kids about 9-14 its amazing!
