Summary: Terrific!
Review: Peg Kehret has written many wonderful books and she is well known for her "disaster" books. This is one of the best books Kehret has ever written. I could not put it down. Kyle Davidson is winding up his 6th grade year when his father wins a vacation to Oregon. the family is excited about staying on the beautiful Oregon coast in a luxury hotel. When they arrive, they find the accommodations are not what they expected. Still the beach is beautiful and Kyle and his sister BeeBee are enjoying their stay until bully Daren Hazelton and his family arrive. The reader knows as the family reads the warning sign about tsunamis that they are going to be running for their lives before the book is over. His sister BeeBee is a great character. Terrific and exciting read.
