    Cora Moffat is struggling to concentrate on her English class when her teacher’s focus lands on a classroom window. As the class turns to look, they see an enormous black cloud, angry and vicious, heading their direction. When the devastating tornado hits the school, Cora does all she can to help herself and others survive the destruction and make it out of the building alive. Readers can learn the real story of the Tri-State Tornado from the nonfiction back matter in this Girls Survive story. A glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts are also provided.
