Ti-årige Deja starter i femte klasse på en ny skole. Ting er hårde derhjemme: Pop er altid syg og trist, Ma er altid på arbejde, og Deja tager sig altid af sin lillebror og søster, mens Pop sover. Hendes nye skole er anderledes end noget andet sted, Deja har været, og den uddannelse af nyere historie, som Deja modtager, vil ændre hendes liv og hendes venners og families liv for altid.
Eleverne kan oprette et karakterkort for at holde styr på karakterer i Towers Falling af Jewell Parker Rhodes, og hvordan de ændrer sig gennem historien.
