We All Fall Down is a
novel by Canadian
author Eric Walters

Eric was born in

Toronto in 1957, which
makes him "real old".
But, as Eric says,
"Just because I have to
grow old doesn't mean
that I have to grow
up!"
This is the story of a son and
father who, against all odds,
managed to survive when almost
no one else could.
Will
at the beginning of the
story, 9th grader Will and
his classmates are given a
school assignment to visit
their parents' work

Father
Will's father works at
the world trading
center located in the
Twin Towers in New
York
When they arrive at work
in the morning, the
worst happens, a
civilian plane crashes
into the North Tower
Not their tower is damaged, but
Will's father tries to convince
everyone to leave the tower,
anyway.

Unfortunately, one of the offices

does not want to leave it, and
Will and his dad lose a lot of
time by escaping them.
But they do not have time to
evacuate, because the second
civilian plane crashes into
their South Tower
 Will and his
father were here

The plane crashed

here
 While people on the
ground were thinking
about an evacuation
plan, the people in And since the fire
the tower did not have broke out from below,
time to evacuate people climbed higher
and higher on the
tower, in the hope
that they would be
rescued by plane or
something like that
But no one saved
them on
helicopters, so
they were forced
to either jump or
burn in fire
The only survivors were
Will, his dad, and the
girl Ting, whom they found
on their way down the
stairs.

after
This book is based on a true story
that happened September 11, 2001
Maybe Will, his father, and
Thing weren't real. But, I
can definitely say that in
this story there was
definitely pain, fear, panic,
and even death of real
people.
