Countdown to Disaster Books in Order

Ten stories follow children confronting life-threatening situations, each unfolding through a forty-minute countdown. A lion enclosure, a runaway bus, a waste crusher, and a rogue military robot become arenas where quick decisions may determine survival.

Ten children face dangerous predicaments that unfold through fifty-minute countdowns. Buried confinement, quicksand, roaming predators, and a weaponized robotic crocodile demand resourcefulness as each story narrows the time available to find a way out alive.

Ten children confront mysteries with just twenty minutes of clues to work with. A failed parachute, a suspected traitor, and a person buried alive introduce stories that combine urgent survival problems with puzzles about what is really happening.

Twenty stories give endangered children ten minutes to escape. An approaching asteroid, a rising tsunami, and an erupting volcano are among the disasters that force each protagonist to think quickly as the countdown reaches its final moments.

Ten stories place children in deadly situations that count down from thirty minutes. A pilotless aircraft, radioactive contamination, and a threat beneath the ocean force their young protagonists to improvise escape plans before their time runs out.
