Product Description
In September 2002, "21 Days at Ground Zero" was chosen by "Teen People" magazine as THE recommended 9/11 book for young adults. The book also was #1 on the Best Seller list at Booksurge.com.Ground Zero and America's Youth...A different perspective of living and learning from September 11. For the first time, the tragedy of September 11 and the aftermath is told by a young adult who spent three weeks living and working at Ground Zero. Juliet McIntyre and her friend Erica, both just 20, stepped out of their normal lives and ran the 5th floor operations at Stuyvesant High School where the World Trade Center rescue workers recuperated and received medical aid. Get an insider view of life amidst the rubble and heartache, including stories and details never made public. Hear first hand accounts of the courage, tears, sweat and smiles as only a young person can deliver. Partial proceeds from this book benefit the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund.

Heartwarming book by Ground Zero's youngest worker

This kid tells it like it was. Heartwarming and heartbreaking narrative. She put her life at risk more than once, working near buildings that might topple at any time (and a few did). I recommend it for any teenager and any New Yorker. Those of us who live in NY understand what courage it took for any adult--much less a kid--to continue to live and work in that smoke-filled area. Kudos to this brave young writer!

I found this book riveting from the very first page. This is a brave kid telling what it was like to be at Ground Zero for three long weeks. She writes simply, from the heart, but there is power in her earnestness. As a reader, I felt I was there experiencing each devastation or triumph of the spirit with her. Since the author now works with the families of Cantor Fitzgerald, she is to be commended for considering their feelings and not being as graphic as some other books. Believe me, she gets her points across without sensationalism. I found some passages chilling, and shed a few tears along the way. This author is an example to other young people of how to get off your duff and do something to help your fellow man.

I picked up this book hoping I could learn about what happened at Ground Zero. I tried to follow the book but at times I got confused as it's hard to keep all the facts clear. Also, I got confused about what the Scientologists were doing some of the time.

While I am interested in learning about other's experiences at Ground Zero, I found myself being confused by the disparate accounts of Ms. McIntyre's volunteer experiences that she offers in this book. Also, I with she had talked about her encounters with the rescue workers instead of focusing on her experiencs with fellow Scientologists and other celebrities she met.

Very moving, told in a youthful but NOT childish manner. Brought tears to my eyes more than once. ALL should read this - should be required reading for all teens, that's for sure! Reads rapidly and when you're done, you feel like you were *there*. Also might be a good gift, I know I already got a couple extras and gave them to friends who all liked them!
