The Program: Whiz Bang Science Presents: Adventure in the Woods, Tues., June 18, 6:30 pm, Willowick Library
Use the Libby app to access the Survival Zone series of juvenile nonfiction (grades 3 – 7) books like Survive in the Woods. Starting with a true-life scenario, each volume of this series challenges students to imagine how they would survive in difficult weather-related circumstances.
Of course, mention of survival brings to mind the wildly popular I Survived series. For readers age 7 and up, the books are about children facing disasters like the Titanic, 9/11, Pompeii, and other historical events, and are told from their perspective. The books contain violence and tension, but also include historical facts and positive messages.
