"""Reading The School's on Fire! could save your life. Not only has Rebecca C. Jones written a gripping account of the 1958 fire that destroyed Our Lady of the Angels School in Chicago, but she has also described the changes in building codes and laws that resulted from the fire. In addition, Jones includes lifesaving tips on surviving a fire. The book's thorough research and its clear and concise prose make it a standout."" --Mary Downing Hahn, author of Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story ""Riveting and thoroughly researched...this page-turner will keep readers on the edge of their seats as hundreds of students struggle to escape the roaring flames."" --Rosalyn Schanzer, author of Witches and George vs. George ""This well-researched book is especially timely. By focusing on the survivors and steps taken to prevent future fires, Rebecca C. Jones seeds her story with hope."" --Catherin Reef, author of Florence Nightingale: The Courageous Life of the Legendary Nurse"
