Buried Alive!
Buried Alive!: How 33 Miners Survived 69 Days Deep Under the Chilean Desert | Elaine Scott
6 posts | 2 read
In August 2010, thirty-three miners were buried alive, two thousand feet below the surface of the earth. After seventeen tense days, just as hope was nearly gone, rescuers made contact with the men. Joy broke out around the world—all thirty-three men were alive! But it would be long weeks before they emerged from the mine. What did the miners feel, trapped in the steamy darkness so far underground? What did they eat? How did they get along? And most important, how did they survive in those seventeen days when death lingered so near, and after, during the long wait for rescue? This amazing true story about problem-solving, community, and real-life heroes is made kid-friendly by veteran nonfiction writer Elaine Scott. It will inspire for years to come.

This book has many terms that children may not understand. I love how the back of the book includes a glossary defining possible unknown terms.

A true story of 33 miners who survived 69 days under the Chilean Desert. I love that it has a table of contents because just by looking at it I can tell that the whole story is about togetherness. This book allows children to explore the unimaginable. Genre: Nonfiction; Published: 2012
