Publisher's summary

When a tornado watch is issued one Tuesday evening in June, 12-year-old Dan Hatch and his best friend, Arthur, don't think much of it. After all, tornado warnings are a way of life during the summer in Grand Island, Nebraska. But soon enough things change and little do they know that even if they do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun.

Good story

It was such an enthralling story. My son wanted it to be longer. Great use of figurative language.

Great Book!

At first I thought it would be boring. But after completing it I realize how great it is.

The narrator was fantastic.
This story is set where my great grandpa’s hometown was.
