Eleven

<p><strong>Alex Douglas always wanted to be a hero. But nothing heroic ever happened to Alex. Nothing that is until his eleventh birthday.</strong> 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. <strong>This is <em>Eleven</em>: the journey of a boy turning eleven on 9/11</strong>.</p><br><br><p>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. </p>
