Narrative Toward Books Survival in the Storm: The Dust Bowl Diary of Grace Edwards (Dear America)

This teen wrote the events of dust bowl panhandle area Texas in her diary. It can be read in one sitting and is super simple language. She relates the weather conditions, her family's difficulties in keeping the dust out of the house (this was truly horrendous) and the crop and economics of the farmers, just like her father. She relates in detail the dust pneumonia realities and the death of children. One of them her sister's best friend. She takes part in the hospital placements and care for some of those afflicted.

It taught me a few facts that I knew from other "eyes" but this one was still worth the read.

Her family's past neighbors that moved to CA for work- their letters were filled with detail. And I thought it was something how respectful people were to get "a job". Even if the job entailed work where their kids who had little or no food were still not allowed to eat the fallen and rotting fruit on site during the workday. And the "help" sent by government? Buying your dying cow or pig?

Regardless, growing all that wheat for WWI took its toll. And burning wheat stub down before planting the same thing again! What a bitter lesson.

My brother experienced sand storms in Iraq and he has pictures. I can't imagine how awful that dark must have been. And is.

Criticism About Books Survival in the Storm: The Dust Bowl Diary of Grace Edwards (Dear America)

Just finished reading this with a small group of 3rd graders (reading on a 5th grade level), and we all really enjoyed it. It was engaging and informative--I learned lots of new things, too! We're now beginning a research project as there are lots of potential topics: dust pneumonia, the Great Depression, migrant camps, etc. It would make a good companion read to Esparanza Rising, as there are some interesting connections.

This is one book that I re-read every so often.

Grace Edwards best friend is Helen and Grace's sister is Ruth. Helen moves because of all of the dust storms and pneumonia. There are at least 7 storms and they leave right before one starts and hits. Ruth and Grace get dust pneumonia. Grace learns about the hospital life. Ruth finds out that her best friend dies from dust pneumonia. I think you would love this book. To find out what else happens read the book.

I enjoyed this so much! A very sweet and heartwarming story, with plenty of plot and excitement to move things along. I would have liked to see it longer, just because I enjoyed the characters and family so very much. A very nice slice-of-life story with plenty of historical detail, and overall an awesome effort.

4.5/5 stars probably one of my favorite "Dear America" books ♡

This book focused on the dust bowl of 1935. This is a topic that is not really taught throughout school but it should be, the people who lived during this time in texas went through draughts every year and many dust storms, some not as bad as others. This would be a great book to read because it has a family that goes through it and having to block all the doors and protect the livestock and staying safe because this storm was bad. I really enjoyed reading about this because I find the dust bowl
