This book can be used as a great introduction to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, for readers of any age. "A Nation Challenged" gives readers an inside look at the terrorist attacks that not only changed a nation, but changed the world forever. Being only in fifth grade when the attacks occurred, I was too young to understand exactly what happened and why. Even as an adult, reading this book has given me a much better understanding of those events that took place. I feel as though this would be a great book to share with students to help them learn about the attacks and the impact it has had on our country. The book also features actual, real-life photos from that day and the days that followed which will touch your heart. (

In an intimate and moving portrait of the occurrences of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath, A Nation Challenged is a tragic, yet ultimately reassuring record of the most pivotal event in modern American history. After witnessing such monumental acts of destruction and violence, America's children were inundated with new fears. Some of them grieve for lost loved ones, some of them grieve out of sheer confusion and anxiety, and some of them cannot grieve at all, unable to comprehend the enormity of what happened. This book will answer their questions about how and why these acts occurred in
