Natural Disasters (Blog #1)

This week i am reading The Problem with Pardsise. In this book they have to overcome a huge hurricane as their natural disaster. They are on vacation with their dad on an island where they are the only house on it for the whole summer while their mom gets to stay at home all summer. While they are on the island a hurricane comes in unexpectdadly and their dad and neighbors are on the neighboring island while they are stuck home alone in their house. They have to wait in the basement emergency room while they wait for the storm to pass over. The storm lasts for days and their houses are ripped up and the whole island is torn apart. They have to clean up the island and find out if everyone is okay before they can go to the main island to get their brothers broken arm fixed. Their boat got blown away and their neighbors roof was blown off their house and there was so much damage that had to be fixed before they could go back to having a normal day on the island again.
