DESCRIPTION:
Dead End in Norvelt is the winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal for the year’s best contribution to children’s literature and the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction!
Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, Dead End in Norvelt is a novel about an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, whose plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is “grounded for life” by his feuding parents, and whose nose spews bad blood at every little shock he gets. But plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack’s way once his mom loans him out to help a fiesty old neighbor with a most unusual chore–typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his utopian town. As one obituary leads to another, Jack is launced on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hells Angels . . . and possibly murder. Endlessly surprising, this sly, sharp-edged narrative is the author at his very best, making readers laugh out loud at the most unexpected things in a dead-funny depiction of growing up in a slightly off-kilter place where the past is present, the present is confusing, and the future is completely up in the air.

DESCRIPTION:
Trauma is the leading cause of death in the US for people under 45 – more than cancer, heart disease, and the next 7 causes combined. At least 1 in 5 trauma deaths are preventable. You can make that difference.
Designed by active medical providers and in support of the DHS Stop the Bleed campaign, this app provides assistance to empower people before, during and immediately after a traumatic event. The app walks the user through the RACE2Safety algorithm for simple but effective response to preventable causes of death due to trauma.
Follow along with trauma healthcare providers and first responders as they instruct you on how to RACE:
R – React to the threat
A – Activate emergency systems
C – CARE for causes of preventable trauma deaths
E – Evacuate to rescue
Help is always there before first responders.
First there – First CARE
