Scholastic Paperbacks, 1999
A Worthy Read
+ Exciting and Topical
All in all I think the book The Terrorist was a good book for just about any age group 6th grade and up, that is definitely worth reading. It really raised my awareness of terrorism in the real world, making it more than just an idea in the back of my mind about something happening on the other ...
