This is an event that changed history as we know and Eric Walters most certainly does it justice with his book We All Fall Down. And from there I went home and I guess as they say the rest is history.

I had no idea what they were talking about (smart phones weren't exactly popular back then and laptops were just becoming popular amongst the student population and thus I didn't have one) but when I walked outside of the university with planes flying over head someone said to me 'I wonder if they will fall out of the sky as well' by this time I was getting a little worried as to what was happening in the world. I had just finished an hour class moved onto a two hour lecture where the four professors that were team teaching the English literature class told us that despite the tragic events of the day they were going to go on with the scheduled lecture. I was in my first week of classes in university which was exciting. Up until that day I had never heard of these terrorist. Septemis the day the world changed, or at least from my view the day the bubble I lived in popped. Now I know I live in Canada but I'm pretty sure this book is of great importance to read to our students. This is a book when you get into the children beg you to continue to read as each chapter ends with a little clifhanger.

We All Fall Down is a historical fiction book that is created around the events of 9/11. This is a book time and time again that I love reading with my class! Out of about 100 and some children I have read this book to I would say only 1 child didn't like it.
