A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People 2019 Written
for the 60th anniversary of the blaze that changed American fire
laws, The School's on Fire! follows the path of the
December 1958 fire that killed 92 kids and 3 teachers at Chicago's
Our Lady of the Angels School. Recounted in a fast-paced,
blow-by-blow, classroom-by-classroom narrative, the tragedy is made
accessible by focusing on the survivors' stories of courage, quick
thinking, and luck. Author Rebecca C. Jones draws heavily from
interviews with those who were there and includes compelling
historic photos of the tragedy. The School's on
Fire! finishes with a useful "What to Do in Case of Fire"
appendix with practical information for kids facing dangerous
situations. Additional informative sidebars, resources for further
learning, and source notes make this an invaluable addition to any
student's bookshelf.
