When a fierce blizzard suddenly kicks up on a mild winter day, a young Nebraska girl must find the courage and strength to lead others to safety in this novel inspired by the true story of the 1888 School Children's Blizzard. Twelve-year-old Anna loves life on the Nebraska prairie where she lives with her parents and four-year-old brother in a simple sod house. She doesn't mind helping out with chores, especially when she is herding sheep with her beloved pony, Top Hat. On the open prairie, Anna feels at home. But at school she feels hopelessly out of place. Arithmetic is too hard, her penmanship is abysmal, and stuck-up Eloise Baxter always laughs at her mistakes. When a unexpected blizzard traps Anna, her schoolmates, and their young teacher in the one-room schoolhouse, Anna knows they must escape before it is too late. Does she have the courage and strength to lead her class through the whiteout to safety? Alison Hart offers young readers a dramatic story of rescue and survival featuring a plucky, determined protagonist. An author's note provides more information about prairie life in the late nineteenth century and about the School Children's Blizzard.

Grief is an elusive, messy thing. It gives and it takes away, but all who come in contact with it find its indelible mark upon their lives. People who have walked through the valley of the shadow of death know that it is definitely a journey that everyone must make on their own, at their own pace; it is work, and work that only the grieving can do themselves. The main character of Goodhope, Matt Goodhope, has been forced to take just such a journey, one that he never counted on, one that has cost him much more than he was ever willing to pay. Goodhope is a poignant, profoundly human story about a man on his journey with grief, and the unique and engaging people that cross his path on that journey. Some give him gifts he can never repay, others seem determined to push him into a realm of living he'd never have known had his beloved wife not been taken from him so cruelly. The range of his emotions is as broad as it is deep, and for many men, at times, it can be an arduous thing to come face to face with such raw human emotion. It blisters, it weeps, it seems to be healing, only to be opened up again with such disregard for the soul, that Matt feels he may very well die, too. Perhaps at some point, death seems a welcome relief from the embittered existence he's come to know. But just when he thinks he' s figured out how to manage this silent partner of grief, along comes Grace. Grace has no idea that her simple act of kindness could shatter this most fragile of psyches, that her smile feels like a firebrand in his heart. She simply wants to extend an invitation to a gathering at the store. And thus begins the second journey; the journey out of the shadow of death, the pilgrimage toward something that can only be expressed as sincere hope.

"Because I believed in Anna, her war came alive for me. Her struggle, her bravery, all those things were completely real and I read the book overnight, unable to put it down. Magnificent, brilliant, heartbreaking." - Fleur Hitchcock, author of Murder in Midwinter "A fast-paced adventure, whose elegant prose and cliffhanger chapters should keep even less confident readers gripped to the thrilling end." - Emily Bearn, Daily Telegaph "It's a tale of bravery and loss that Helen Peters ( Evie's Ghost) sets out with the light touch that only rigorous research allow... Peters tells Anna's story of escape with great humanity, and this novel is an excellent way to whet young appetites for classics such as When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr and Carrie's War by Nina Bawden." - Alex O'Connell, The Times, Children's Book of the Week " Anna at War is a gripping, moving piece of historical fiction." - Imogen Russell Williams, Guardian "Helen Peters balances adventure and intrigue with this emotional coming-of-age story." - Emma Dunn and Sarah Mallon, Scotsman
