(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Steve Moors. Gassman recounts the massive marine evacuation on September 11, 2001, as nearly five-hundred-thousand people fled the devastation in downtown Manhattan. Quotes from the boat crews personalize the text, as does Gassman's first-hand account in her author's note. In the digital illustrations, blue sky contrasts sharply with the mainly colorless line drawings of people, ships, and buildings, effectively capturing the day's unexpected somberness. Reading list. Glos.
