Since tomorrow is May 22 & this is free at the moment I thought some might be interested...

It's May 22, 2011, in Joplin, Missouri, and thirteen-year-old Avalie Milner has just finished dinner. Within minutes, a mile-wide tornado will change her life.

After being rescued from the rubble of her home, Avalie sets out on a mission: to find her loved ones, to restore her home, and to survive on her own in a world that will never be the same.

Shannon, Joplin is a ways off from me but I remember when the tornado devastated the town. I think DGD & I are going to read the book together...
