I Survived The Attacks of September 11, 2001 by Lauren Tarshis*

 Lucas finds solace and identity in football.  But when a well-known doctor tells Lucas he may never play football again because of one too many concussions, angry Lucas skips school to talk to "Uncle" Benny, a good family friend who works with his father in NYC.  Lucas' anger about football is quickly forgotten when he witnesses planes crash into the Twin Towers.
Well developed story and told with sensitivity.
*Highly recommend.
