| 9781338317442 | I Survived the California Wildfires, 2018 (I Survived #20), Volume 20 | Lauren Tarshis | California continues to be ravaged by devastating wildfires. Lauren Tarshis's heart pounding story tells of two children who battle the terrifying flames and -- despite the destruction -- find hope in the ashes. The people of Northern California were used to living with the threat of wildfires. But nothing could have prepared them for the devastating 2018 fire season, the deadliest in 100 years and the most destructive in history. In the 20th I Survived book, readers join eleven-year-old Josh as he leaves his New Jersey home for the rural northern California town where his cousins live. Still reeling from the life-changing challenges that propelled him and his mother across the country, Josh struggles to adapt to a more rustic, down-to-earth lifestyle that couldn't be more different from the one he is used to. Josh and his cousin bond over tacos and reptiles and jokes, but on a trip into the nearby forest, they suddenly find themselves in the path of a fast-moving firestorm, a super-heated monster that will soon lay waste to millions of acres of wilderness and -- possibly -- their town. Josh needs to confront the family issues burning him up inside, but first he'll have to survive the flames blazing all around him. | I Survived |

| 9781402754999 | Sterling Biographies: Davy Crockett: Frontier Legend | Stanley, George E. | Davy Crockett was a child of the frontier, where violence and danger were everywhere. A hunter, soldier, and backwoods politician, he helped settle large swaths of the still-growing United States. In the process, he became an American legend, with his life and exploits dramatized-and often fictionalized-in film and TV. Renowned author George Edward Stanley tells the true story: his difficult childhood; his time in the militia fighting the Indians and the British; his decision to become a Justice of the Peace and eventually run for the Tennessee State Legislature; and his final stand, and death, at the famous battle of the Alamo.Children's LiteratureDavy Crockett was an American Frontier legend. He was born on August 17, 1786 in a cabin in Greene County, North Carolina. Life during this time was difficult and dangerous. Crockett spent many hours outdoors, hunting, chopping wood, and learning how to survive on the rugged frontier. Later in life, he became a scout, explorer, soldier, homesteader, and served in the United States House of Representatives. He fought in the battle for the Alamo, a small mission on the San Antonio River held by a small amount of Texans. Mexicans were surrounding the town, and the mission was to take back the Alamo. Although the Alamo was recaptured by Mexico, Crocket and the other men fought bravely, even though they were outnumbered. Crocket's legend began after he died in the Alamo battle. He became a popular figure in American history. People loved to read or listen to stories about the adventures of Davy Crockett, especially the ones about Crockett surviving the Alamo fight. Plays, books, and movies were written about Davy's wilderness life. A television series was produced by Disney called, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. The legend of Davy Crockett lives on today. Color and black and white photographs are included as well as interesting sidebars, a glossary, bibliography, and source and chapter notes.
