Escaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret

Rating: 4/5-Loved it!

 Kyle and his family were having a wonderful vacation on the Oregon coast until the night when Kyle was babysitting his little sister, BeeBee, and an earthquake hits the coast. Fires broke out in the hotel and as Kyle gets his sister out of the building he remembers a sign on the beach that said to get as inland/high as possible, Tsunamis' tend to come after earthquakes.

There are many things to like about this book but liked the development of the story best. I found that there's nothing to dislike about this book. One thing that makes this book unique is the connection between Kyle and a bully. Something that stands out in this book is how Kyle stands up for BeeBee. This book is like the I Survived series because a disaster strikes and people have to escape it.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy the I Survived series since they are similar.
