I Survived the Wellington Avalanche, 1910 (I Survived #22)

"The Wellington snow slide of 1910 was-and still is-the deadliest avalanche in America's history. Lauren Tarshis's story of one child surviving the frozen nightmare pounds with page-turning action and heartwarming hope. The snow came down faster than train crews could clear the tracks, piling up in drifts 20 feet high. At the Wellington train depot in the Cascade Mountains, two trains sat stranded, blocked in by snow slides to the east and west. Some passengers braved the storm to hike off the mountain, but many had no choice but to wait out the storm. But the storm didn't stop. One day passed, then two, three . . . six days. The snow turned to rain. Then, just after midnight on March 1, a lightning storm struck the mountain, sending a ten-foot-high wave of snow barreling down the mountain. The trains tumbled 150 feet. 96 people were dead. The Wellington avalanche forever changed railroad engineering. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells the tale of one girl who survived, emerging from the snow forever changed herself."

Rescue of the Bounty (Young Readers Edition): Disaster and Survival in Superstorm Sandy

"Book six in the True Rescue series for young readers, this pulse-pounding account of disaster and survival at sea follows the HMS Bounty whose fateful course through Superstorm Sandy would lead to one of the most heroic Coast Guard rescue missions ever. On October 23, 2012, with Superstorm Sandy fast approaching, Captain Robin Walbridge made the fateful decision to sail the HMS Bounty from New London, Connecticut, to St. Petersburg, Florida, believing the wooden ship, a replica of the original, famous Bounty, would fare better at sea than at port. He told the crew that anyone who did not want to come on the voyage could leave the ship and there would be no hard feelings. No one took the captain up on his offer, and this decision would have fatal consequences. Four days into the voyage, Superstorm Sandy made an almost direct hit on the Bounty―sending the crew tumbling into the ocean filled with crashing thirty-foot waves. Some were swept far from the ship, others found themselves tangled in the rigging, while others were trapped below the surface by the masts and spreaders. What ensued was one of the most complex, dangerous, and massive Coast Guard rescue missions in history. Rescue of the Bounty is a gripping, inspiring, and unforgettable account―the perfect choice for young adventure-seekers."

[Arabic] - تنين الجليد

"«صحيحٌ أن آدارا كانت دومًا طفلةً تؤثر الانعزال. إنها فتاةٌ صغيرةٌ جادَّةٌ للغاية، نادرًا ما تُلقي بالًا للعب مع الآخرين. يقول النَّاس إنها جميلةٌ، إلا أنَّ جمالها غريبٌ غير مألوف، ببشرتها الشَّاحبة وشعرها الأشقر وعينيها الزَّرقاوين الواسعتين الصَّافيتين. تبتسمُ آدارا، ولكن ليس كثيرًا، كما أن أحدًا لم يرها تبكي من قبل على الإطلاق». كلُّ هذه الصفات التي تميزُ آدارا عن غيرها من الأطفال إنما هي ثمرة اليتم؛ فقد ماتت أمها وهي تلدها، في وقتٍ شهدت فيه بلدتها أسوأ موجةَ بردٍ قد يتخيلها أحد. ولكن كلما تقدمنا في قراءة الرواية وعرفنا بقية سمات هذه الطفلة الغريبة من حُبٍّ جارفٍ للشتاء، وكذلك لتنين الثلج الذي ركبته وهي بعدُ في الخامسة من عمرها- إذًا لأدركنا أنَّ اجتماع هذه السمات ليس صدفةً، وإنما سيكتسبُ اجتماعها معنىً لدى مواجهة آدارا لأول حدثٍ يهزُّ أعماقها، وتكون مسئولةً –هي الطفلة- عن حياة من حولها. تنقضُّ تنانين الشمال النارية على المزرعة التي يقع فيها بيت آدارا، فيفزع الناسُ ولا يجدون مهربًا، وتحاول الفتاةُ التي لم يحفل أحدٌ بها، أن تنقذ الناس... فهل يحل الربيع على يدي هذه الفتاة الثلجية؟ 'تنين الجليد' رواية للكاتب العالمي جورج ر.ر مارتن، وتعد تمهيد لسلسلة أغنية الجليد والنار. استمع الآن."
