Customer Reviews

Bone-CHILLING!

The SURVIVAL! books are cool! Don't believe all those "they're boring" reports. True, some are predictable, but some books are just like that. What good authors do is write the story in such as way that even predictable plots are exciting because you want to see how it will play out. Book #3, Blizzard, is one of the best. I've read five of these books, and this ranks among the top. The vivid descriptions of Maggie's and Hadyn's fear-filled fight for survival in an uncanny, white wilderness is really bone-CHILLING!

A gripping survival story that had me on the edge of my seat

When Maggie's father, a rancher in 1886 Colorado, is injured, Maggie's mother takes him to town to see a doctor. That leaves Maggie alone with her spoiled city cousin, Hadyn, who is visting Colorado as a punishment for being expelled from school. Hadyn and Maggie have a fight, and Hadyn runs away, determined to find the train station. When Maggie learns Hadyn never made it to town, in spite of hating him, she sets out to find him in the wilderness. But a blizzard descends upon the mountains, trapping Hadyn and Maggie in a harsh and unforgiving wilderness. If they are going to survive and find their way home, Hadyn and Maggie have to work together. This was an excellant survival story in a historical setting.

The Best Survival Book.

I scary but good book. It shows dangers in camping and how to survive. What all survival books should do.

I loved it!

This was the story of Maggie and Hadyn, cousins that just can't seem to get along. Hadyn has come to live with Maggie's family and one night Maggie's father gets hurt. Her Mother takes him down to the town for him to see the doctor. That leaves Maggie and Hadyn alone. They have an arguement and Hadyn decides to go to the train station-by walking. But he sees a mountain lion and runs farther and farther off the track. Maggie discovers Hadyn never made it to town and sets out to find him. Can they battle winds and snowslides? The snowslide was terrifying I just couldn't put the book down! Maggie was a great character.
