I Survived: The Childrens Blizzard,
Written by Lauren Tarshis
Review by Xina Marie Uhl
Chicago-born year-old John Hale’s family has moved to the Dakota prairie, and he contends with the challenges of farming in a brutal environment as well a city boy can. Action builds as winter comes, and brings with it a deadly Midwestern blizzard that kills hundreds and traps John and his friends in a life-or-death struggle for survival.
Packed full of 19th-century American history from a kid’s point of view, this novel educates about the sod houses, isolated pioneer life, and difficulties of farming amidst plagues of locusts, unobtrusively making it a perfect addition to class lessons on the time period. John’s adventures will thrill boys who appreciate some minor gross humor and exciting action scenes. By the end of the book John has grown and survived the winter of major discontent. He provides a sympathetic window into the hardscrabble life of a pioneer.

I am less interested in their history. And, I am an architect and have published the view that the classical Chinese scholar garden was the most sophisticated architectural genre ever invented.
