I am currently almost done with the book Escaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret. Escaping the Giant Wave is about a Thirteen year old boy named Kyle, while Kyle thought spending a vacation on the Oregon coast with his family would be great. The best thing was he'd never flown before, and he'd never seen the Pacific Ocean. One evening Kyle was left in charge of his younger sister, BeeBee, while his parents attended an adults only Salesman of the Year dinner on an elegant yacht. Then an earthquake came and started a fire in their hotel!
As Kyle and BeeBee fought their way out the smoke and flames, Kyle remembered the sign at the beach that said "after an earthquake everyone should go uphill and inland, as far from the ocean as possible." "Giant tsunami waves three or four stories high can ride in from the sea and engulf anyone who doesn't escape fast enough." When Kyle and BeeBee fled uphill a tsunami crashed over the beach, the hotel, and the town. The giant wave charged straight up the hillside and through the woods where some of the children were running for their lives. While Kyle and BeeBee ran up the hill they met an elderly couple who had saw the sign too, but the only thing is it is they seem very suspicious on the way there doing things.

In the book Escaping the Giant Wave an earthquake happen and after a tsunami, I can relate to this in the real world because in 2011 a devastating earth quake and tsunami struck Japan sadly taking the lives of over 15,000 people. It was one of the most deadly tsunami in the world and one of the top five earthquakes ever to happen. Although the earthquake and tsunami in the book are not as bad as the one in real life it still took the lives of many.
When I first saw this book I thought that this book was going to be boring and not detailed. I thought wrong. Escaping The Giant Wave is one of the most detailed books I've ever read. I absolutely recommend this book because of its well explaining, its wonderful details, and its explaining.
