A powerful Winter blizzard with high winds, high tides, blinding snow, frigid temperatures, and severe coastal flooding grips the ocean town of Marshalhead. Eleven-year-old Janine and her dad, Joe, running a little late, were on their way to the Public Works facility to an awaiting snowplow that Joe volunteered to drive, assisting the town's short-staffed crew and bringing along his daughter. Deciding to take a questionable shortcut along Beach Road, the weather quickly deteriorated, and they became engaged in a potentially life-threatening encounter with raging surf and blizzard conditions. Decisions must be made, or all could be lost. Whose body was removed from the ocean? What happens to that clicking loose tooth? The Blizzard's Ocean Roar is an adventurous story that will bring smiles and reinforce the pleasures of reading. It is an ideal educational and fun supplemental learning tool at home or in the classroom. The book ends with a glossary of twenty-four applicable terms, with simple and practical explanations and, at times, additional information provided for further learning or understanding. Discussion topics are also provided at the end of the book, enhancing the readers' understanding and giving them the opportunity to express their opinions. Ideal for young readers and readers of all ages.
