Synopsis

Hatchet meets The Babysitters Club in this epic and thrilling survival story about pushing oneself to the limit in the face of a crisis.

We were all alone, in a shaken and shattered house, in the dark. And I was in charge.

Hannah Steele loves living on Pelling, a tiny island near Seattle. She's always felt totally safe there.

So when she's asked to babysit after school one day, it's no big deal. Zoe and Oscar are her next-door neighbors, and Hannah just took a babysitting class, which she's pretty sure makes her an expert. She isn't even worried that she left her inhaler at home.

Then the shaking begins.

The terrifying earthquake only lasts four minutes, but it changes everything—damaging the house, knocking out the power, and making cell service nonexistent. Even worse, the ferry and the bridge connecting the kids to help—and their parents—are both blocked, which means they're stranded alone. And Hannah's in charge as things go from bad to worse.

The Disaster Days By Rebecca Behrens This is definitely a book I would give 5/5 stars. When I took it from the library I wasn't that excited to read it. I read all my graphic novels first and didn’t even start it in the two weeks that i had it. But when I did, I finished it that same evening. It was d......more

Goodreads review by Abby

I bought this because my stepkid says she's interested in "end of the world"-type stories and this seemed like it might be an interesting read for her. Whenever I buy her books, I like to read them first just so I can talk to her about the story when she's done, hence why I have a lot of young adult......more
