(3) 4-6 On vacation in Oregon, Kyle and his younger sister, BeeBee, spend the evening in a hotel while their parents attend a business dinner. When an earthquake jolts the area, the kids must first escape a fire at the hotel, then head for higher ground as a tsunami speeds toward the coast. Kyle's first-person narrative effectively sustains suspense in this fast-paced adventure.
