Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of In the Shadow of the Fallen Towers.

Even though this is a quick read, it is very impactful as a graphic novel. The abstract drawings vividly portray the fear experienced as we follow the story of the tower's demise. We see the impact of the fallen towers of the World Trade Center on the people affected and the aftermath that surrounds it. This is a great way for the younger generation to quickly understand the events - from the survival of the workers to those who participated in the rescue efforts. It's a book about the great loss and devastation caused by the events of 9/11.

Marketed at teens, I think this is a really informative graphic novel depicting the events of 9/11.

It shows a really horrific event in an easy to take in, but also easy ro understand way.

Enjoyable, if sad, read.

It’s shocking to realize that the audience for this YA graphic novel was not born when 9/11 happened. I guess I’ve reached that age.

This is by no means a complete history of the attacks, but it does serve as a good outline of the gray and grim aftermath. There were a few miracles in those days and weeks after, but even they occurred with hints of tragedy and sorrow, almost serving to highlight the depths of the loss.
