Customer Reviews

The Blizzerd Disaster is a very exiting book!

The Blizzard Diaster is a very exiting book! Ellie has a big sister named Janis.They both get lost in a blizzard.Read to find out if they survive!

I wish I could run the instant commuter and go everywhere.

The Blizzard Disaster story was a good book. The instant commuter was really neat! I liked Ellie's imaginary squirrel friend. Ellie said he grew a new tail! I hope Peg Kehret's next book is good because I'm going to read it!

The Blizzard Disaster was awesome.

The Blizzard Disaster was very interesting. I felt happy for Pansy. I thought it was very brave of Janis to protect Pansy from her dad. It was funny when Ellie thought of that imaginary squirrel. I think that was a great story about bravery.

I loved the story! The instant commuter was GREAT!

I loved the story! I'd like to run the instant commuter even though it doesn't exist. I like the part where Ellie says that Wonderful's tail fell off, too. I heard about your other book, The Volcano Disaster, and it's probably good, too.

Great book!

Warren Spalding and Betsy Tyler have been assigned a report on the Armistice Day Blizzard in Minnesota on November 11, 1940. To get a first hand view of the blizzard, they use the Instant Commuter - an invention Warren's late grandfather invented - to travel back in time to the blizzard. After a few minutes of freezing wind and biting cold, they've had enough and decide to go back to the present. But the Instant Commuter is frozen! They start a fire in a haystack and manage to thaw out the machine. They are about to return to the present when they hear the cries of four year old Ellie Huff, a little girl lost in the blizzard. The Instant Commuter can only return two people to the present. Can Warren and Betsy manage to save both themselves and Ellie, the little girl whose only hope is them? I couldn't put down this exciting page-turner!
