A novel from one of the country's most prolific and popular YA authors,
this book, set in New York City on September 11th, shows us how the
experiences of that day profoundly changed one teen's life and
relationships.
Today is September 10, 2001, and Will, a grade nine student, is spending
the day at his father's workplace tomorrow. As part of a school
assignment, all the students in his class will be going to their parents
tomorrow, but Will isn't excited about it-he'd rather sleep in and do
nothing with his friends. His father doesn't even have an exciting job
like his best friend James's father who is a fireman. Will's dad works
for an international trading company and has to wake up early every
morning to commute to his office on the eighty-fifth floor in the south
building of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. Will doesn't see his
father very often because of the hours he puts in at the office. He
doubts that his dad will bother making time for him tomorrow even when
they are supposed to be spending the day together.
In this fast-paced and dramatic new novel by bestselling author Eric
Walters, Will discovers a new side of his father during an event that
continues to affect the world. As Will's new teacher says, tomorrow
"might be an experience that changes your entire life."
