Publisher's Description of Can You Survive the 1918 Flu Pandemic? An Interactive History Adventure
The year is 1918. World War I is nearing its end. But the world is just
beginning to suffer from a deadly pandemic. Within months, the deadly
flu virus has spread around the world, infecting and killing tens of
millions of people. As you return from the war, will you go to see your
family and friends or quarantine to keep your loved ones safe? Will you
shut down your small store to avoid spreading the virus? Will you quit
your job as a teacher in order to stay safe, or continue going to
school? With dozens of possible choices, it’s up to YOU to choose how to
survive through one of the worst pandemics in history.
A
dramatic series in the You Choose collection where you try to survive through
some of history’s worst natural disasters: the 1865 sultana disaster, the 1918
flu pandemic, the 1920 big burn, and the 1925 Tri-State tornado. The Disaster
series allows readers to learn about historical situations while engaging in
the story. You will have the opportunity to follow characters through real-life
events and make choices that influence the story’s outcome, determining whether
characters survive or not. After you finish
one path, go back and read the other choices for new perspectives and more
adventures. The first chapter sets the scene and then instructions for what
page to go to next. The end of each book has a key events timeline, glossary,
book list, and internet sites to explore.
