Overview

When an earthquake hits the isolated island in northern California where his family had been camping, twelve-year-old Jonathan Palmer must find a way to keep himself, his partially paralyzed younger sister, and their dog alive until help arrives.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature

Jonathan is left in charge of his crippled younger sister Abby while his mother and dad head for a nearby hospital. Mom broke her ankle while on their camping trip. What appeared to be a routine afternoon babysitting turns into a nightmare. An earthquake strikes, danger is everywhere, Abby can't walk and they are stranded on the island. Jonathan must rely on all of his skills to keep them alive. It's a cliffhanger and brother and sister as well as their dog, Moose, each show what they are made of in this survival story. 1998 (orig.

School Library Journal

Gr 4-6-On a family camping trip to a deserted island, Jonathan's mother is injured. The 12-year-old volunteers to stay alone with his 6-year-old physically disabled sister so their parents can get to the hospital as quickly as possible. What should have been only an afternoon's inconvenience turns into a deadly situation when an earthquake strikes, destroying the camping area and threatening to flood the entire island. With no food, supplies, or means of contacting help, Jonathan must find a way to save Abby and himself. The tautly written story sustains the suspense without ever becoming melodramatic. Jonathan is a sympathetic and realistic character. His sensitive response to Abby's fears is mature but never unbelievable. This exciting tale is a fine choice for most collections.-Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL

Meet the Author

Peg Kehret was born in Wisconsin, grew up in Minnesota, spent fourteen years in California, and now lives with her husband in Washington State. They have two grown children, four grandchildren, one dog, and one cat.

Peg's novels for children are regularly recommended by the American Library Association, the International Reading Association, and the Children's Book Council. She has won many state "young reader" or "children's choice" awards. Peg's characters are ordinary kids who find themselves in exciting situations and who use their wits to solve their problems. There is usually humor as well as suspense in her books. A long-time volunteer at The Humane Society, she often uses animals in her stories.

Before she began writing books for children, Peg published plays, short stories, articles, and two books for adults. She is a frequent speaker at conferences for librarians and teachers.

At the age of twelve, Peg had polio and was paralyzed from the neck down. Because she can remember that experience and her year of recovery so vividly, she finds it easy to write in the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen year old. Most of her main characters are that age. Her autobiography, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, won the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and the PEN Center USA West Award for Children's Literature.

When she is not writing, Peg likes to watch baseball, bake cookies, and pump her old player piano.

A disapointing outcome but may be okay to others

I thought this would be a good book by the title and the cover illustration, but when I read it I wasn't that impressed. This book is about two kids and there family on a camping trip at Magpie Campground, in Northern California. Jonathon 'the main character' and his sister, Abby, decide to go for a hike by themselves without any supervision and soon an earthquake hits. The main plot of the story is just trying to find there family. I didn't like this book because the author didn't describe the characters very well and later in the story it actually gets more complicated than more clear to what was happening. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who like to get into detail.

Fantastic, Fun, Full of surprises!

This was a very fantastic book about a boy and a girl left alone on an island, when a terrible earthquke hits! They have to figure out how to get off the flooding island. There's only 1 problem. The girl, Abby, has a problem with her legs, and can't walk, or swim. This book is my favorite book, and I don't mind reading it for a second....or third.....or 1 millionth time!

Earthquake Terror Review

Earthquake Terror is an action-packed,fun-loving book that will make you feel like you're part of the plot! This book will stay in your mind until a week after you finished it. It has a bunch of exciting turns every flip of the page. In one chapter it's scary, and the next it's full of excitement. Even though Jonathan is in a terrible earthquake, he doesn't even hesitate for one minute to rescue his only sister who is paralyzed. He also tries to rescue his dog. This beloved book by Peg Kehret will keep you asking for more!
