INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Duey, Kathleen , Bale, Karen A.

Fire: Chicago, 1871

(4) 4-6 Survivors series. Duey and Bale tackle the retelling of two historical tragedies--the sinking of the Titanic and the Great Chicago Fire--each through the alternating perspectives of a boy and a girl. Period references supplement formulaic plot lines, in which two strangers fight for survival together; each personal and immediate-feeling story handles death in a peripheral but meaningful way. Review cover these Survivors titles: Fire and Titanic.
