ICE QUEEN: Teenage Survivalist III

Taylor knows what it takes to survive. She’s been surviving on her own as long as she can remember while her parents alternated between drug-induced catatonia to rehab to jail. But does she have what it takes to survive the failure of the world's power grids, her parent's and older brother's painful withdrawal from drugs, and the emergence of the mental diseases the drugs have been masking for years? Unlike her friends from books I and II—happy-go-lucky Bracken and brooding avoider Ben—Taylor analyzes each aspect of her harsh new reality with candor and quirky observations.

Ben's 13th year was when his family fell apart, but his 14th year is when his whole world, or more precisely, the whole world, collapses. He had thought 13 was his unlucky number, the year that Time turned its back on him, but he was wrong; that year, it was he who had turned his back on Time. The following year, the fury of the sun turns back Time for everyone in the world.

On PF (Power Failure) Day, a huge electromagnetic surge from the sun destroys the power grids and civilization as we know it. Living in the middle of downtown Kansas City makes survival nearly impossible. Starvation, dehydration, disease, freezing temperatures, and out-of-control fires imperil the desperate population. After facing unimaginable losses, Ben finds hope for the future when he meets Sara, who has endured her own share of agonizing loss. But when a murderous gang threatens to take away everything Ben has left, they flee to a wilderness area of a large city park where they learn to live off the land for survival.

Living the Country Life Magazine - "Worst Weather - The Crack of Ice"

The crack of iceOne morning in 2007 we awoke to an eerie silence interrupted by what sounded like cracks of gunfire. We ran outside and saw an incredible scene: Every surface was coated with a half-inch layer of ice, and the elm and maple trees were sheared off like a tornado had passed by. Power lines lay limp on the ground, and every few minutes another limb broke off with an earsplitting crack. We had to live with my mother-in-law for a week until our electricity was back on. We made it a vacation for our boys. We still have not burned all the firewood we collected from the trees damaged by that ice storm.
