Vivid storytelling brings an incredible story to life and place readers
in the shoes of people who experienced one of the most frightening
terrorist attacks on U.S. soil - the bombing of the Boston Marathon in
2013. On April 15, 2013, athletes and spectators gathered for the annual
Boston Marathon. When two bombs detonated near the finish line, a day of
celebration turned into a fight for survival and a manhunt to capture
the bombers. Suspenseful, dramatic events unfold in chronological,
interwoven stories from the different perspectives of people who
experienced the event while it was happening. Narratives intertwine to
create a breathless, What's Next? kind of read. Students gain a new
perspective on historical figures as they learn about real people
struggling to decide how best to act in a given moment.
