"It got so dark that you couldn't see your hand before your face," remembered one farmer. Blinded drivers drove their cars off the side of the road. Terrified cows spun in circles. People covered their faces, gasping for breath. This was one of many dark days during the Dust Bowl. Sick Soil: The Dust Bowltraces the tragic story of the devastating dust storms that swept across the Midwest in the 1930s as a result of over-farming and drought. Fascinating photos of the actual events, maps, and fact boxes enrich the compelling text. The personal and heart-breaking story will grip and inspire young readers. 526 0 $a Accelerated Reader AR $b MG $c 5.5 $d 0.5 $z 191305. 611 27 $a Dust Bowl Era (1931-1939) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00899651 650 0 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939 $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Droughts $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Agriculture $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Farmers $z Great Plains $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Agriculture $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Droughts $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 650 1 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939. 651 1 $a Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Agriculture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00801355 650 7 $a Droughts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898449 650 7 $a Farmers $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921364 651 7 $a Great Plains. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240567 650 4 $a Droughts $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Droughts $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 650 4 $a Farmers $z Great Plains $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Farmers $z Great Plains $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 4 $a Agriculture $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 650 4 $a Agriculture $z Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939 $v Juvenile literature. 650 4 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939. 651 4 $a Great Plains $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 651 4 $a Great Plains $x History $y 20th century. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 776 08 $i Online version: $a Blake, Kevin, 1978- $t Sick soil. $d New York, New York : Bearport Publishing, [2018] $z 9781684022779 $w (DLC) 2017018192 830 0 $a Eco-disasters. 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409031633.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720011109.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20220603010737.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D879595E9A0811E8AE30EB3197128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
