I Survived the Children’s Blizzard, 1888

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. 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. What made the storm so deadly was the timing, the suddenness, and the brief spell of warmer weather that preceded it. Lauren Tarshis will place a resilient 11-year-old character in the midst of this deadly blizzard, fighting their way out.
