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.

A best-seller at the 9/11 MEMORIAL MUSEUM, a Kirkus "Best Books" selection, and winner of Writer's Digest and Moonbeam Children's Book awards.

Critical Reviews

"Riveting debut middle-grade novel....Perfect for young readers...or for classrooms hoping to explore this event in recent history." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A thoroughly engaging piece about a very difficult subject. Very well written - funny and emotional from beginning to end. And I loved Radar." - Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios "Tom Rogers has told the story in a way that most parents and educators have struggled to accomplish. It's a thoughtful and important book for readers of all ages." - Downtown Magazine NYC
