The Blizzard [Hardcover]

The wind shrieked and howled, and sleet and snow swirled around us. We battled against the wind, needles of ice pricking our faces. Thirteen-year-old Shani Kantor loves writing stories, but her mother wants her to learn computer coding instead. Shani is worried about her father’s secret business trip to China, after his discovery that unscrupulous people want to steal his research. One day, Shani’s cousin shares an old journal from the 1880s. Shani reads about the Great Blizzard in Vermont, a massive storm that covered the entire state with snow and caused a terrifying train wreck. Shani is intrigued. Yet the townspeople’s struggles can’t distract her from her own: the dangerous criminals who are pursuing her father and even her. What do they want, and how can she escape? Best-selling author Susie Garber has crafted a compelling historical novel that bridges the 1880s with our world today. Bundle up and brace yourself for a nonstop adventure filled with flurries of discovery and excitement.
