I Survived the Children’s Blizzard, 1888 (I Survived #16) (16)

Description:

Bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tackles the Children's Blizzard of 1888 in this latest installment of the groundbreaking, New York Times bestselling I Survived series.

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?

My middle school son picked up I Survived the Children’s Blizzard, 1888 and finished it in just a few days — he couldn’t put it down! This story brings history to life in such a vivid, exciting way. It’s full of action, emotion, and lessons about courage and survival that really stick.The paperback is great quality — sturdy enough for backpacks and bedtime reading. If your child loves adventure or realistic historical stories, this book is an easy win.Highly recommend for homeschoolers or any parent looking for a story that gets kids reading and learning!

My 9 yo daughter has loved the I Survived series for a few years now. Truth be told, I do too.The stories are always about a kid (usually 11yo) who lives through historical disasters, and we learn about those disasters through his/her eyes.The tales are well-written and include facts- as well as historical fiction to hold the audience’s attention.They are exciting and sad; gripping and profound; tragic and heartwarming. You can always count on the main kid-character surviving...but not always the other people in the story.Your child and you will certainly come away with the intended morals:*War is Hell. (D day, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg, American Revolution, Civil War etc)*People can be evil: (Hitler, 9/11, maybe in a few years, Trump will be a subject of one of her books)*The newest inventions aren’t always the best: (Titanic, Hindenburg)Don’t turn your back on nature: (Tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods)Animals are wild; don’t turn your back on them either:: (sharks, grizzlies)And molasses is...well. We are reading that one next.Really can not recommend enough.

6歳のバイリンガルの息子に購入しました。マジックツリーハウスシリーズ全部読んだら、キンダーの先生にこちらをすすめられました。小学校グレード3-5向けの本なので、難しすぎるかと心配しましたが読めています。新しい単語がいっぱい入って勉強になってると思います。インター卒園、バイリンガル子、中学生にはいいと思います。なになにを生き残ったと言うことなので、6歳には怖すぎると心配しました子供が楽しく読んでいます。This series was recommended to us by my son’s kindergarten teacher. My son read all of the magic tree house series and we were looking for his next obsession. This book is aimed at grades 3-5 so I wasn’t sure he’d be able to read it. He can read it just fine and he seems to understand most of the contents. There are lots of new words so it’s good for expanding his vocabulary. Because this series is about surviving something I was worried it would be too scary for his age but he seems to enjoy it. I think this is a good series for kids who have graduated English speaking schools, bilingual kids and Japanese Junior High school students. They seem to be an interesting read.

La más brutal de las tormentas

G.B. · September 17, 2018

Otra novela más —esta tal vez la más larga de la serie— de los mocosos que sobreviven a los desastres históricos más extremos, y vivir en las grandes praderas de Estados Unidos en 1888, la verdad es que sobrevivir era la palabra: un gigantesco oceano de hierba alta en una zona plana que se extiende por cientos de kilometros y en cuyo interior puede uno perderse o encontrar a cad paso serpientes de cascabel de tamaño descomunal, hacia la "vida" en las praderas una especie de reto. Las condiciones climáticas tampoco eran las mejores: tornados, tormentas eléctricas y tormentas de nieve podian acabar con tus sembradios en menos de lo que se dice basta y ahí no hay nada más que tu propia comida para sobrevivir. Así que cuando en 1888 hubo una serie de brutales tormentas de nieve que atacaron la nación americana, hubo una mortandad que ahora no nos parece para nada elevada, (incluso menor a la matanza de indios que ellos mismos perpetraron), por ejemplo, en la llamada "Tormenta de Nieve de los Niños" que es de la que trata este libro, murieron aproximadamente 250 personas. Un poco más de 100 eran niños que fueron atrapados por el huracán de nieve en sus propios colegios (atacó a las 2 de la tarde) o de camino a sus casas. Y no se esperen una tormenta como las que conocemos. No, estas son light. Allá son gigantes y rápidas como tsunamis. En menos de un minuto tienes encima una verdadera cascada de hielo y nieve que te puede matar en menos de dos minutos. Después de esta, hubo otra en la parte este de Estados Unidos, menos impresionante,m pero más mortal. El libro es muy bueno, vale la pena y la verdad es de los más impresionantes de la serie. Incluye además otro terrible desastre: la invasión de las langostas de las montañas. Suena a película de terror... y lo era. Nubes brutales, del tamaño de TODO el largo de los Estados Unidos (ajá, no leyeron mal) arrasaron las cosechas de los pioneros e incluso te atacaban a ti y devoraban tu ropa... Esa no me la sabia...
