<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The Schoolhouse Blizzard, also known as the Children's Blizzard or the Great Blizzard of 1888, caught people completely by surprise and resulted in 235 fatalities, including several children in one-room schoolhouses. Tarshis places a resilient 11-year-old character in the midst of this deadly blizzard, fighting their way out. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> Bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tackles the Children's Blizzard of 1888 in this latest installment of the groundbreaking, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling I Survived series.<p></p>Eleven-year-old John Hale has already survived one brutal Dakota winter, and now he's about to experience one of the deadliest blizzards in American history. The storm of 1888 was a monster, a frozen hurricane that slammed into America's midwest without warning. Within hours, America's prairie would be buried under ten feet of snow. Hundreds would be dead, thousands terrified and lost and freezing. John never wanted to move to the wide-open prairie. He's a city kid, not a tough pioneer! But his inner strength is seriously tested when he finds himself trapped in the blinding snow, the wind like a giant crushing hammer, pounding him over and over again. Will John ever find his way home? <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912</i>: </b>The fast pace and intrinsically fascinating disaster story will keep readers turning the pages. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><b>Praise for <i>I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916</i>: </b>A gripping story that will hold the interest of reluctant readers. -- <i>School Library Journal</i><b>Praise for <i>I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005</i>: </b>Expressive illustrations capture the drama of the storm and its aftermath, but the book's real power comes from its exploration of what it means to be a hero. -- <i>Booklist</i><b>Praise for <i>I Survived the Attacks of September 11, 2001</i>: </b>[Tarshis] crafts a dramatic, emotionally intense tale that takes account of 9/11's physical and emotional costs -- short- and long-term -- while ending on an upward beat. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><b>Praise for <i>I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863</i>: </b>Informative and breathlessly paced. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><b>Praise for <i>I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79</i>: </b>Tarshis serves up another gripping adventure... with the light-speed pacing and death-defying maneuvering fans have come to expect. -- <i>Booklist</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Lauren Tarshis's <i>New York Times</i> bestselling I Survived series tells stories of young people and their resilience and strength in the midst of unimaginable disasters and times of turmoil.
