Publisher's Description of Can You Survive the 1925 Tri-State Tornado? An Interactive History Adventure
On March 18, 1925, the deadliest tornado in history tore a path of
destruction more than 200 miles long across Missouri, Illinois, and
Indiana. The giant tornado demolished several towns and killed hundreds
of people. Will you take shelter in your basement or try to outrun the
tornado in your new Model T car? Do you stay inside your school or risk
running to your church to take shelter there? Will you ignore the storm
like your father says or get your family to the storm shelter before
it’s too late? With dozens of possible choices, YOU will need to find a
way to survive the deadliest tornado ever recorded in the United States.
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.
