![]() ![]() It is a literature resource for 6th grade students who study Minnesota History (according to state standards) yet a student would not have to be from Hinckley or Minnesota to enjoy, learn from, and appreciate this novel. This book is particularly applicable to the students I work with as we live in Hinckley, MN. Written for 4th grade and up, Schultz, does a fantastic job of being truthful about the terrible things that happened on a level that elementary students can understand, yet not become terrified of. Maggie and her family are fictional characters but the events surrounding the great Hinckley Fire are harrowing and true. After a harrowing ride to Duluth Maggie and her father decide they must return to Hinckley in search of her brothers.
