Anna's Blizzard by Alison Hart

On the Nebraska plains a blizzard threatens many lives and tests people's courage in January 1888.  Anna despises attending school.  She would rather tend her sheep.  But on this day in January her practical intelligence helps save a school of children plus their teacher from the East.
Lots of information about this blizzard and life on the plains in the back of the book.
Well researched.
Strategies: inferring-character traits/feelings, figurative language; asking questions; connections
