{"product_id":"winter-thunder-9780803291614","title":"Winter Thunder","description":"In a blinding blizzard a schoolbus overturns and a young teacher, her seven pupils, and the driver--a mere boy--are stranded in the open country, miles and miles from the nearest ranchhouse. Thus Mari Sandoz introduces a situation that will stretch the limits of human endurance. \u003cp\u003eThe exposed little group is armed with no more than the lunches they started out with and only the clothing required for a normal winter's day. As a killer storm takes hold and the mercury plunges below zero they become desperate. How each character facesthe terrifying prospect of freezing to death is a story that has become a small classic. And because it is based upon fact--the author's niece experienced much the same ordeal in the paralyzing midwestern blizzard of January 1949--it has the ring of undisputed truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWinter Thunder\u003c\/i\u003e has been named by the \u003ci\u003eReader's Digest\u003c\/i\u003e as one of the ten best American short novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803291614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.92h x 5.30w x 0.17d","brand":"Mari Sandoz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643714760860,"sku":"9780803291614","price":8.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_456e42ed-2443-46fc-a83b-d62a5f07a2a5.jpg?v=1603857131","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/winter-thunder-9780803291614","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
