Got this for my kids. Goes through all the main gemaros and medrashim about the Churban in a clear, understandable manner.

This book was recommended to me. I read a couple chapters today, and it was really excellent. If anyone has it, I recommend reading chapters 6 and 7 today, which are about the siege and destruction of Yerushalyim.

It’s a historical fiction, written in vivid detail from the perspective of a survivor of the churban. A very educational read even not on Tisha b’Av.
