I enjoyed this book, but it disturbed me that the teacher took the kids out into the blizzard, rather than waiting for help or waiting for it to pass! The teacher was young, tho, and I guess she thought home was not that far away? Heartbreaking that some who died were so close to home but couldn’t see it!
