Escaping the Giant Wave

I was reading this book as a school project and I didn't see the point at first but when I read it it was soo good!

He wanted to read it while the teacher used it as a read aloud in class. He liked to see if he could stay ahead of the class. He really enjoyed the story.

My grandson really enjoyed reading this book.

One of my favorite books as a child. I can’t wait to share it with my students! It arrived in great condition.

I use this book for a read aloud in third grade. My students never want me to stop. Great book with lots of things kids can relate too.

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!

A mi niña le gustó mucho el libro.

Escaping the Giant Wave is an exhilarating book that I read every year to my fourth graders when I am teaching water as a science to my class. All of Peg Kehret books are stimulating stories about real life situations with cliffhangers at the end of each chapter! Peg Kehret is a well researched author who writes amazing stories that children and adults love to read. I have many of her books in my classroom library. Once I read a Peg Kehret book that kids are checking out her books from the library and enjoying her well written stories. Thanks Peg Kehret for getting my fourth graders into reading again!

A brilliant book. Will grip even the most reluctant reader

My year 5 class loved this book as part of our natural disasters topic. They were on the edge of their seats.

I like Peg Kehret’s books a lot. Very talented writer. Good suspense. Nice and clean and nothing vulgar. Good family reading.
