Blizzard!: The Storm That Changed America by Jim Murphy

4.0

Another required middle school book finished, and this one I really enjoyed! This true story of the brutal 1888 NY blizzard was a page turner. The author provided enough details and factual information, but also let the true stories of real people involved in this incident drive the story. In addition, the text was very accessible to a middle schooler, with a wide assortment of graphics and photos to further support the text. My 5th grader saw it on my desk and immediately picked it up and started reading!
