Great Escapes

Why did Henry Brown spend 27 hours in a box? How did Red the dog escape from his cage? This title uses the "recount" text type to tell the harrowing story of great escapes throughout history, from POWs escaping a World War II prison camp, to Aron Ralston, the hiker who had to cut off his own arm to free himself from underneath a crushing boulder.

Ann Weil has written more than 50 books for children. Her greatest escape was leaving New York City to live in the countryside.
