We All Fall Down$9.99 add to cart

It's been seven years since I saw those passenger planes crash into the World Trade Center in New York on my television set. September 11 2001 is a day many people will never understand or forget.

We All Fall Down puts the reader on the 85th floor with fifteen-year-old Will and his father at the moment the planes hit.

This riveting and award-winning novel is not about terrorism or religious differences or even political agendas. It is a novel of compassion and of unanswerable questions. I was hesitant to pick it up at first; it is now one of my favourites. We All Fall Down will remain with you long after you read its final inevitable chapter.
