Reviews

"Children’s Fiction about 9/11 is deftly written and cogently argued…Jo Lampert shows a real attention to detail and provides important insights into both the texts she examines and the influence of the September 11th attacks on cultural constructions of identity. In her examination of the responses to 9/11 in children’s literature, Lampert’s study becomes another strong addition to Routledge’s Children’s Literature and Culture series." --Paula T. Connolly, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Children’s Literature Association Quarterly
