Night of the Twisters

Night of the Twisters
by Ivy Ruckman

Listed as both an adult and juvenile book, this is a fictionalized account of the tornadoes that ravaged Grand Island and other central Nebraska towns in June, 1980. Follow the characters on the Day Of that evening's storm, the Day After, and One Year Later. Fascinating, especially for those who remember the storm. -- recommended by Charlotte K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
