Earthquake terror

The book starts on a hot summer day on Magpie island when Jonathan 's mom breaks her ankle. So Jonathan's dad takes his mom to the hospital and leaves Jonathan and his sister Abby and the dog on the island. Then the earthquake hits breaking the bridge to the city, smashing the home, and making the river flood over the island. So Jonathan puts his sister, and his dog, and him on two trees that had fallen from the earthquake and floated to the city and was taken to the hospital.

Mother nature isn't always on your side....

During a camping trip, Jonathan and his sister, Abby, are put into a surpring situation that turns for the worst. The two children find themselves fighting for survival after a devastating earthquake hits. Alone, they must learn to survive and overcome their greatest fears. Man vs. Nature I read this book around maybe two or three years ago, but it still sticks in my mind as entertaining and great. If your into nature disasters, pick this book up.

EarthquakeTerror

The reason why I kept reading this book is, there is always action. The story starts by Jonathan's mom broke her ankle. They must go to the town to cure his mom's ankle. As a result they went. Now Jonathan and his diabled sister are alone in the isolated Magpie island. While they are going to the the camp site an earthquake hits. The story continues with the affort they gave to survive.

Great Book

This was the best book I ever read! I just finshed reading this book today. Lots of action. I didn't think I would leave my kids on a island alone. I got the chills a sometimes.If I was in a earthquake I would go on the side of the bridge till people saw me (other people might think diffrent). Well thats about it it was a awsome book!!!
