A great "I Survived" series read alike. Two siblings struggle to survive through a tsunami together and deal with childhood angst at the same time. A fast paced, suspenseful, and entertaining read. Good for reluctant readers and others looking for a quick read.

100-page story of an earthquake and tsunami in Hawaii, framed through the eyes of a teenager whose family just moved there. No graphics. The science included is accurate and the story line is thin. A quick read.
