I have a book, The Big Apple Posse, for your consideration.

Just in time for the tenth anniversary of 9/11, The Big Apple Posse tells the story of four amazing tweens who were trapped in New York City after a terrorist attack. Pooling their skills (computer, physical and common sense), they figure out what happened to the city and escape. In the spirit of The Wizard of Oz, they become a band of travelers (The Big Apple Posse) adding new friends as they make their journey.

Twelve-year-old Amanda was dreading a boring afternoon at a Broadway theater, babysitting her geeky ten-year-old brother Peter and watching her obnoxious cousin Cindy perform the lead role in Annie. After the show, as they wait for their mothers in Cindy’s basement dressing room, something unimanageable happens—the theater, and perhaps the entire city, explodes above them! Armed with netbooks and backpacks, the terrified but determined tweens manage to escape through an old door in the men’s room and climb down a Prohibition-era stairway to the subway.

When they emerge, they are stunned to find an empty city where the streets are choked with abandoned cars and plagued by looters running wild. With Amanda leading the pack, the group dodges thieves and thugs, making their way to Grand Central, where there has been an explosion of white powder. What really happened? Is it a terrorist attack? Or just a bunch of crooks trying to scare the public as they loot the city?

Determined to solve the mystery and reunite with their families, the tween posse quickly expands, adding some quirky characters they meet along their way: Mr. Garvain, a true New York eccentric; his sister Miss Virginia, proprietress of an outlandish costume wardrobe; Thibodeaux, a twelve-year-old New Orleans boy turned New York City rapper and clothing designer; and Auntie Tina, Thibodeaux’s no-nonsense guardian.

Amid the nonstop thrill-ride, the tweens come to respect and trust each other and learn that nothing matters more than friends, family, teamwork, and keeping the The Big Apple Posse together. The Big Apple Posse is a page-turning action/adventure story for kids of all ages.

The Big Apple Posse, written by Wendy R. Williams and illustrated by Sophie Escabasse, is the first in a series of three books which follow the Posse in their journey from hapless victims to witnesses in the terror trial of the century. The second in the series, Escape From New Orleans, is in the copy editing and illustration stage and will be published in January 2012.

The Big Apple Posse is the first book to be published by New York Cool Productions, a subsidiary of NewYorkCool,com, a web based magazine that covers the culture of New York City.
