A Weekend At School is a book that will be enjoyed by the young and
old alike and will make an interesting edition to any school or
public library. The story takes place in January 1950 when a group
of school children and their teacher become stranded in a remote
country school. As the kids settle into their morning studies, a
light snowfall moves over the area. Before first recess, the
snowfall has turned into a snowstorm, and later that afternoon the
little schoolhouse is being pounded by the worst blizzard in years.
As the blizzard intensifies, the electricity goes off, leaving them
to rely on kerosene lamps to get through the night. Saturday
morning, they awake to an empty wood box, no food, and their
teacher feverishly ill with the flu. Serious as their predicament
is, they manage to survive Saturday and Saturday night. However,
Sunday morning they have to make a live or death decision. The book
is filled with the work ethics and ingenuity of children raised in
rural communities during the nineteen-forties. The reader will be
in suspense as Amos and his cousin Jesse escape one dangerous
predicament after another in an effort to save their friends.
