In 1971, Kat Mission, recently divorced, headstrong and independent, packs her belongings, her geology degree, and her five-month-old daughter in her old pickup and drives to Alaska seeking adventure and a better life. She hears of a hardscrabble mining camp deep in the Isabel Pass that needs a cook. Awed by her surroundings, Kat has found a home. After tragedy and betrayal, the small company faces collapse. Kat offers a solution, and moves into an arena dominated by men. Then Kat meets a man whose love and patience is challenged by her stubborn determination and misplaced loyalties. By 1975, the Alaska oil pipeline changes everything, and tens of thousands of people flood the state for high-paying jobs. During the boom, lawlessness and greed create excitement and danger. Survival is key: surviving her own hardheadedness, the wilderness, injury, a bear attack, cabin fever, two shootings, and a raging blizzard that traps her in the middle of a frozen river in the Isabel Pass.

As the story unfolds, Nathan starts to find out this visitor is more than just a snowbound waif, but a face from his past. He is confronted with a past he has hidden from the world and painfully begins to unravel his secrets. The story ends with his realisation of who Collin is but also how Collin had sacrificed himself for Nathan so many years before.

Blizzard is based on John Rocco's childhood experience during the now infamous Blizzard of 1978, which brought fifty-three inches of snow to his town in Rhode Island. Told with a brief text and dynamic illustrations, the book opens with a boy's excitement upon seeing the first snowflake fall outside his classroom window. It ends with the neighborhood's immense relief upon seeing the first snowplow break through on their street. In between the boy watches his familiar landscape transform into something alien, and readers watch him transform into a hero who puts the needs of others first. John uses an increasing amount of white space in his playful images, which include a gatefold spread of the boy's expedition to the store. This book about the wonder of a winter storm is as delicious as a mug of hot cocoa by the fire on a snowy day. Praise for Super Hair-o and the Barber of Doom "With a light, humorous touch, Rocco reveals that sometimes the Kryptonite is all in your head." --Publishers Weekly "Bold, colorful pen-and-ink illustrations burst with power from each spread in comic-book style. This story will make a feel-good impression on budding comic book/superhero fans." --School Library Journal Praise for Blackout "The plot line, conveyed with just a few sentences, is simple enough, but the dramatic illustrations illuminate the story...Not all young readers will have experienced a blackout, but this engaging snapshot could easily have them wishing for one." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The colorful pictures work beautifully with the book's design. Rocco uses comic-strip panels and a brief text to convey the atmosphere of a lively and almost magical urban landscape. Great bedtime reading for a soft summer night." --School Library Journal (starred review) 2012 Caldecott Honor BookNew York Times Notable BookWall Street Journal Best Book of the YearPublisher's Weekly Best Book of the YearSchool Library Journal Best Book of the YearKirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year -- Praise for Fu Finds the Way "Rocco's story flows smoothly and his illustrations are rich and appealing..." --Kirkus Reviews
