Description
Two cousins battle the elements during the 1886 blizzard in the Colorado Rocky Mountains in this gripping entry in the historical fiction middle grade Disaster series.
Hadyn Sinclair hates absolutely everything about his aunt and uncle's primitive Rocky Mountain ranch. He'd much rather be in a great city than stuck on the countryside. Hadyn's cousin Maggie hates the thought of having her rich and spoiled cousin visiting for four long months. She'd be happier if he weren't around.
When Maggie's father is injured and she and Hadyn are left alone, they argue, and Hadyn sets off on foot for the train station miles away through the snowstorm. The next day, Maggie learns Hadyn never made it to town, and she must search for him despite the blizzard that is raging outside.
But even if she can find him, will they be able to survive freezing nights, vicious winds, and the constant threat of snow slides?
