review 1: This book was riveting, from first page to last. Though the characters and their stories are fictional, the description of the storm and its aftermath are not. I've had first hand experience and can say that the details related here are entirely realistic. The book is an excellent portrayal of physical and emotional devastation caused by nature's fury. It's a story that sadly plays out again and again across this country. Hurricanes and tornadoes are much the same, with respect to the damage caused and the isolation imposed on the survivors.Although the main character is a thirteen year old girl, I would not class this as a YA book. This can been read by all ages that would comprehend it, about 12 and older. This is also a story of hope, a tribute to the amazing way that ... morepeople selflessly work to help others, in terrible conditions.Well written and engrossing, this book is definitely worth a read.
review 2: I have relatives from Joplin, Missouri, who survived the catastrophic EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin in the late afternoon of Sunday, May 22, 2011. I normally don't read YA novels, but my familial connection with the setting for this novel piqued my interest. While I would have undoubtedly enjoyed this book even more were I still a teenybopper, the realism of events and emotions throughout the book were riveting for me, even at my age. I enjoyed this novel, had a good cry, and would recommend it to all others of any age. less
