Tioåriga Deja börjar i femte klass på en ny skola. Det är tufft hemma: Pop är alltid sjuk och ledsen, mamma är alltid på jobbet och Deja tar alltid hand om sin lillebror och syster medan Pop sover. Hennes nya skola skiljer sig från någon annanstans Deja har varit, och den utbildning av nyare historia som Deja får kommer att förändra hennes liv och livet för hennes vänner och familj för alltid.
Eleverna kommer att illustrera 9/11: s inverkan på karaktärerna i Towers Falling.

Deja
Pop and Ma
How are you feeling today, honey?
I have a headache.
Miss Garcia
Deja's family has struggled financially for years because of her father’s inability to work due to the emotional and physical impact that 9/11 left on him. Because of this, Deja’s mother is always at work and she must take care of her younger siblings.
Pop was in the North Tower when it collapsed. He lost friends and colleagues, and feels tremendous guilt over surviving. He has headaches and breathing problems, and is often too down to leave bed. Ma worries about him and works long hours to support the family.
Miss Garcia was in fifth grade in Manhattan on September 11th when the planes hit the towers. Her mother rushed to pick her up. She saw it first hand, and that is most likely why she is so passionate about teaching it.
