Publisher Description
Alex Douglas always wanted to be a hero. But nothing heroic ever happened to Alex. Nothing, that is, until his eleventh birthday. When Alex rescues a stray dog as a birthday gift to himself, he doesn't think his life can get much better. Radar, his new dog, pretty much feels the same way. But this day has bigger things in store for both of them.
This is a story about bullies and heroes. About tragedy and hope. About enemies with two legs and friends with four, and pesky little sisters and cranky old men, and an unexpected lesson in kindness delivered with a slice of pizza.
This is Eleven: the journey of a boy turning eleven on 9/11.

Amazing book
I read this book for a school project and I thought it was an amazing and very good book
Captivating YA novel should be required reading.
This captivating, adventure-filled YA novel about a young boy turning eleven on 9/11 should be required reading in schools because it conveys much more than the history books ever will about what it might have felt like to be a child on this fateful day. It's a fun, gripping, poignant journey and after reading it, I get choked up even looking at the cover. The author has written many Disney movies, so you can be sure this book is suitable for children. However, it also worked for me on an adult level and stayed with me long after I put it down. Highly recommend.
ITS SO AMAZANG
Reading it when I was in 4th grade is EPIC! I loved the 9/11 story, Alex(main character) is really brave and cool.
