Items related to Quake!: Disaster in San Francisco, 1906
Synopsis
It is before daybreak in San Francisco on April 18, 1906. Jacob Kaufman slips out of the wooden boarding house where he lives with his immigrant father and little sister Rosie, and suddenly the ground beneath his feet begins to rumble.
Buildings collapse, and the street splits wide open as Jacob runs to find safety from a devastating earthquake. Fires engulf the city. He returns home hoping to find his father and sister, but there is nothing left of the building but a pile of sticks. Jacob and his dog join the throng of other people searching for shelter, food, fresh water, and loved ones who are missing.
In Gail Langer Karwoski’s stirring fictional account of the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, young readers will relive the drama of the actual event and its devastating aftermath. An Author’s Note carefully separates fact from fiction, giving young readers a glimpse into one of the worst earthquakes in modern history.

From the Back Cover
While the good ol' boy may be glorified in Dixie, you don't need to be Southern to appreciate one. In fact, Cannon contends that this cherished American figure is an international phenomenon. As salty as boiled peanuts, HEY BUBBA provides a portrait of those not so subtle aspects of this myth. Cannon has even provided tips for those who venture away from the kudzu-covered homestead to the glass and steel of corporate America.
