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.
New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tackles the historic grizzly bear attacks in Glacier National Park in this latest installment of the groundbreaking I Survived series.
Since the opening of Glacier National Park in 1910, there were no reported fatal bear attacks until one summer night in 1967, when two grizzlies attacked campers and killed two young women. Inspired by the dramatic and tragic story of that night, and how it eventually influenced the fate of the grizzly bear in the continental United States, Lauren Tarshis has crafted yet another gripping novel in the I Survived series that is sure to shine a light on a terrifying and mostly unknown moment in US history.
The city of Galveston, Texas, was booming. Perched on an island off the southern coast of Texas, Galveston had been founded
in the 1830s. By 1900, it was Texas's richest and most important city. Boats loaded up with American cotton and wheat steamed
from Galveston to countries around the world. Arriving ships were crowded with immigrants. The streets, paved with crushed
oyster shells, sparkled like they'd been sprinkled with diamonds.
True, this glittering city was prone to flooding. But just a few years before, a weather forecaster had said the idea of a hurricane
striking Galveston was absurd.
So when a storm started brewing on September 8, 1900, no one believed it would be any worse than previous storms. They
gathered on the beach to cheer on the wild waves. But what started as entertainment soon turned into a nightmare as those wild
waves crashed into the city. By morning, hundreds of homes were destroyed. Eight thousand people were dead. The city had all
but disappeared.
In this thrilling installment of Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series, one child finds safety only to head
back into the treacherous waters to make sure his neighbors are safe.

When I was young I always said I'd have loads of pets, and now I have! I've got 7 dogs, 2 cats and a gorilla in back garden. I'm living the life I said I would and it's great fun! This book is a collection of the tales of all my furry friends. These are based on truth with a little bit of magic thrown in.... and who doesn't like a little bit of magic?
A golden retriever narrates a hilarious, heart-tugging tale of a dog and his humans as he tries to keep his family together while everything around them falls apart.
Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he's known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper, and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow. Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead. When Max gets a crazy idea to teach them both a dance routine for a contest, how can Cosmo refuse, stiff hips or no? Max wants to remind his folks of all the great times they've had together dancing-and make them forget about the 'd' word that's making them all cry. Told in the open, optimistic, unintentionally humorous voice of a golden retriever, I, Cosmo will delight listeners and remind them that love and loyalty transcend whatever life throws your way.
