Editorial Reviews

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 left an array of harrowing statistics. The conflagration that swept the Windy City over three October days left more than three hundred people dead and 100,000 homeless. Lauren Tarshis translates those numbing numbers into human experience, presenting the unfolding disaster compellingly through the eyes and experiences of a single young boy. A trade paperback and NOOK Book original; editor's recommendation. (P.S. The subject of this new installment of the I Survived series was chosen by a reader vote.)
