Night of the Twisters - Book Review

Night of the Twisters
By: Ivy Ruckman

Summary: Tornado Alert! Tornado Alert! Tornado alert! Tornado alert! just seconds after the announcement, the radio is dead, the lights go out, and the only sound in the unnaturally quiet night is the horrifying wail of the warning siren. Dan's been through a dozen tornado watches before, but this is the real thing -- a twister is about to hit. Alone in the house, he, his best friend, and his infant brother take shelter in the basement. Huddled in the shower, covered by a blanket, they listen to the sounds of the howling, shrieking tornado. The world seems about to come to an end on top of them. This harrowing story of a day like any other turned -- almost without warning -- into a nightmare abounds with courage, love, and hope. (Summary provided by Bookshare.org)

Favorite Character:  My favorite character in this book would have to be Dan.  He was so brave, steady and reliable.

Favorite Scene: My favorite scene would have to be at the end, after the tornado had already hit down, and Dan's Mom and Dad arrive in his  Dad's truck, and the whole family gets reunited again.

I give this book a big Thumbs Up!  I liked this story because it has Tornatos in it, and it has people running for their lives!
