S'està carregant… I survived the Joplin tornado, 2011 (2015)de Lauren Tarshis
![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Wow. This is TERRIBLY written. It reminds me of those penny-a-page crankouts during the early 90s (think the books that came with American Girl Dolls). The way it shoehorns in trivia about tornadoes and storm is clunky. It's embarrassing. Lauren will bring her signature intensity to this distinctly American natural disaster, placing a young boy in the middle of one of the deadliest tornado to strike the United States since 1947.« I SURVIVED THE JOPLIN TORNADO, 2011 by Lauren Tarshis Boys especially will like this latest in the I SURVIVED series for early chapter book readers. Dexter, 11, has been invited to go along with a group of tornado chasers when they are caught by the deadliest tornado in 50 years. The exciting story presents a wealth of information about tornados, tornado chasers, preparedness and safety. The reading level is about a 3-4th grade level. The story is exciting enough for 6th graders. Girls will like it as much as boys. It is scary enough to be thrilling, but also has a happy ending. Parents and teachers will like the information in the end notes. 4 of 5 stars Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

A destructive force is about to hit the city of Joplin... Eleven-year-old Dexter has always wanted to see a tornado. So when he gets the incredible opportunity to go storm chasing with the famous Dr. Norman Rays, he has to say yes! Dr. Rays is the host of Tornado Mysteries, the show that Dex and his older brother, Jeremy, watched every night until Jeremy joined the U.S. Navy SEALs and left Joplin. Dex certainly knows how deadly tornadoes can be, but this one isn't heading toward Joplin, and wouldn't it be great to have a brave and exciting story of his own to tell Jeremy when he comes home? But when the tornado shifts direction, Dexter's bravery is about to get seriously tested... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I could see how it would appeal to young male readers, which is what the author was trying to accomplish.
I think we picked it because it was something that happened within my nephew's lifetime, even though we don't live close to Missouri. (
