Escaping the Giant Wave Peg Kehret 9780689852732 Books Reviews
- I read this book so I could have literary discussions with my grandson. The story was intense, and at times tears came to my eyes. I have lived through several natural disasters, and this author really conveys the sense of danger and need to think of solutions for survival. I'm sure my grandson and I will have a lot to talk about. I highly recommend this book for 9-12 year-olds.
- I read this book with my 10 year old son, a struggling reader who never wants to read and he LOVED this book. It's a quick read about a young teenager, in charge of his little sister, in a life or death situation. Well, one life or death situation turns into another and another. It was a roller-coaster for my son and he never wanted me to stop reading. Least to say, we've ordered more Peg Kehret books.
- A harrowing story written first person from the eyes of a young person about escaping a rare tsunami in the Pacific Northwest when he was in charge of babysitting his younger sister on a family vacation. He and his family had read a sign that morning on the beach about what to do in case of a tsunami warning. This young man bravely went on a long climb inland after feeling a strong earthquake in the hotel where he was with his sister. His parents were on an evening cruise. The story is spellbinding and full of bravery and common sense along with a great perseverance in this young man.
A great read! - It was so exciting and terrifying at the same time. It had me at the edge of my seat in every chapter. It was one of the best books I've read😄
- Great book.
- Excellent story. It's fast paced and kept me interested. It took me about 3 hours to finish lol. I'd recommend it to middle school readers who have a somewhat difficult time keeping their interest in a book; this will definitely suck them in. )
- Very good book. Keeps kids and adults alike entertained. Might be a bit scary for young readers or listeners but it is well written and keeps the reader turning pages to the end.
- This book had my grandchildren on the edges of their seats. The kids were real enough that mine could identify and since we live in earthquake territory they were very interested. This is the first book my 7 year old grand daughter has sat through.
