Lucas loves football, but after three concussions in two years, his parents are forcing him to quit the game. There's only one person who can convince his parents to change their minds—Uncle Benny, his father's best friend and fellow firefighter from Ladder 177.
So on the morning of September 11, Lucas sneaks into Manhattan and heads down to the firehouse. But as Lucas and Uncle Benny stand outside talking, a plane flies low overhead—and soon nothing will ever be the same again.
As soon as the plane hits the World Trade Center Tower, the men of Ladder 177 swing into action. Lucas is terrified. But when another plane hits the second tower, he can't wait around the firehouse any longer—he's got to go find his dad. He starts walking downtown—right toward the burning towers...
This sensitive and engaging story also features factual information about the World Trade Center attacks at the end.
