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.

I liked this book because it was very exciting, you get nervous when you read it, as you don't know what will happen next.But it all turns out with a perfect ending.

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.

This book was pretty good. It kept me reading on and on. I really liked it a lot since it was based on Peg's life and how she was partially paralyzed. She had to deal with a lot of trouble that was going on and the destruction of the earthquake. I liked how this book made it quite adventurous and exciting. It took me a few days to read it but not as long as some other books took me since this one I really liked. The girl had her brother to help her at some points but then her brother accidently was away from her and she had to deal with a lot of things being partially paralyzed. It was something I had to read to see what happened next.

Earthquake Terror is a action so if your a action person

thats the book.The father was serious from when his

wife broke her ankle and when he went to the gym he

wasn't taking no for a answer. I am a fith grader at Oak Rigde.

This is a story about a caring brother who takes care of his disabled sister in this thrilling book. Jonathon and his sister Abby are left alone on Magpie Island when an earthquake strikes. He is very resourceful with the environment around him as he tries to escape from Magpie Island.
This would be a good book for someone who likes adventure, non-stop problems, and cliff hangers. Our teacher read this book to our third grade class. At first some kids in our class weren't that excited when she started reading it to us. By the end we were drawn in to the adventurous and exciting book.

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.

Earthquake Terror by Peg Keheret is probably the best fiction book I have ever read so far. I liked it most because ig is very dramatic, and the part when they figure out that Magpie Island, the island that the Palmers are camping on, is about to have an earthquake! When the earthquake is over, they discover the island is sinking. what will the kids do? Mean while, their parents are trapped in a car, and they don't know how to get out.

The palmers son, Jonathon, who is my favorite charachtor, is very creative with his decisions. He knows how to get off of the island, but he dosen't know if it will work. But why he can't just swim off of the island is what I don'tunderstand. But Abby, Jonathon's disable sittle sister can't swim, but she allways complains, which becomes very annoying. And when Jonathon is eating lunch in the hospital, he has an average lunch, but it felt like a royal lunch because he hadn't eaten in days. It was a great book, I never wanted to stop reading it, and that's why I'm writing a review on it.

Earthquake terror

the book I did was Earthquake Terror. The author of my book is Peg Kehret. The main characters in the story are jonathan and Abby, but the mom and dad are kind of the main characters in the book but there not as important as the kids.

What happens in my story is that a family goes to a deserted campground and are taking a camp there and the mom gets heart. So the mom and the dad take off to go get help and they leave the kids cause they think they will slow them up. So when the kids are by them selves an earthquake starts and they have to get help and get out of there and they try to get out of the campground and bad things happen to the kids while they are trying to keep safe and get help.

The setting of the story takes place in an forest by a deserted campground. The theme of the story is the kids are trying to get help and get out of the forest because there is an earthquake.

I liked this story because it was a type of adventure type story and I like adventure stories. It also was a story like you think something bad is going to happen and your not sure and it makes you read on, like what is going to happen, and I like those kind of stories. I liked this book and I hpoe I can read another story like this one

This book is so good I read it 3 times! Peg Kehret is a fantastic writer! I would recamend this book to anyone.
