![]() ![]() I think that Michael Northrop's idea for this YA book is excellent and in the main, I really enjoyed reading it. What of no one is coming, how long can they really last in the freezing cold conditions? At first it seems like a big adventure, a bit of fun, but the snow gradually gets higher and higher, then the lights and the heat go out. The rest of the kids went home when the blizzard started but this lot are still waiting for someone to come and get them. Scotty and his friends are the last seven kids left at the school. I really liked the sound of this book and thought that the striking simplicity of the cover was excellent too. ![]() As the days add up the snow piles higher and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall.īut then the power goes out, then the heat. Scotty and his friends are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day and they soon realise that no one is coming to get them. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive. The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. ![]()
