I would recommend this book to older elementary school students. This book is historical and is a story about a man who walked on a tightrope between the twin towers, pre 9/11. This would be good to have in the classroom because it is a historical story, but takes a different perspective on it by being adventurous and not just telling the facts. It would also be good because this book shows the twin towers before the 9/11 attack and could let children learn about what life was like before that.
Primary-Intermediate

This book is a good introduction to biography and a good "wow" story
