Book Description: Called a 'comics expert' by the San Jose Mercury News, Oliver Chin creates a compelling blend of fact and fiction where a high school class (based in the San Francisco Bay area) grapples with the aftershocks of the catastrophe of 9/11. But their 11th grade US history teacher challenges his students to move forward. Can the next generation sort out a world, growing smaller by the day but yet more divided? Through the eyes of nine students come the disparate yet earnest voices of a multi cultural world. In this graphic novel that helps teens make sense of world events, nine fictional high school students reflect the variety of feelings about the events of September 11. Set during the confusion following the terrorist attacks, the story begins when a history teacher assigns his students to write a report on the incident based on an interview with someone who has a different viewpoint from their own. As they fan out into the community and encounter people of diverse backgrounds, opinions, and prejudices, the teens quickly realize that the story cannot be reduced to simple themes like good versus evil or us versus them. Foreward by Phoebe Gloeckner, author of Diary of a Teenage Girl.
