The Worst Vacation Ever! Thirteen-year-old Kyle thought spending a vacation on the Oregon coast with his family would be great. He'd never flown before, and he'd never seen the Pacific Ocean. One evening Kyle is left in charge of his younger sister, BeeBee, while his parents attend an adults-only Salesman of the Year dinner on an elegant yacht. Then the earthquake comes -- starting a fire in their hotel! As Kyle and BeeBee fight their way out through smoke and flame, Kyle remembers 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. Kyle and BeeBee flee uphill as a tsunami crashes over the beach, the hotel, and the town. The giant wave charges straight up the hillside and through the woods where the children are running for their lives. The perfect vacation has become a nightmare! Somehow Kyle and BeeBee have to outwit nature's fury and save themselves from tsunami terror.

Escaping the Giant Wave, by Peg Kehret From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-An earthquake, followed by a tsunami, hits the Oregon coast where 13-year-old Kyle is vacationing with his family. His parents are on a yacht, celebrating his realtor father's Salesman of the Year award, and Kyle must get his eight-year-old sister out of their burning hotel and up the hill, away from the beach. As they escape, he also saves the life of a bully who has tormented him since grade school. Later, after seeing Daren for the lying coward he is, Kyle stands up to him, ending the abusive behavior. Kyle's self-image is transformed through his experience with the tsunami and the bully. While this is a satisfying read for victims of bullying, it is unremarkable in plot and style. One character does stand out, Kyle's sister, BeeBee, a financial whiz who follows the stock market and names her teddy bear after Bill Gates. A bibliography of books, Web sites, a video, and pamphlets about tsunamis is included.Laurie von Mehren, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OHCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Review "When most people hear 'large-print book,' they immediately think senior citizen. But large-print editions of popular children's books -- from the powerhouse Harry Potter series to timeless classics like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer -- are now making their way onto the shelves of the Children's Department at the Canton Library. . . . Although large-print editions are targeted to the visually-impaired or dyslexic child, they can also be used by standard-vision readers. So Kershner [Children's librarian at the Canton Public Library] has decided against creating a special section in the Children's Department (as exists in the Adult Department) opting instead to intersperse large-print books on the shelves with the regular print versions of the same titles." -- The Observer and Eccentric (October 2000) (The Observer and Eccentric 20001001)"Thorndike Press has helped me not only find books I want to read, but they also look like regular books. That's important when you're a kid and you can only read Large Print, you want your book to look like all the other books. I'm reading a lot more now that we have found Thorndike Press." -- Jim Bernardin, Islamorada, FL"Everyone loves to read, there's nothing like curling up with a good book. We're a reading family, so when our son was diagnosed with Stargardt's Disease and only able to read Large Print, it was particularly difficult. Books on tape are wonderful but they don't fill the void of actually reading a good story. Large Print books have been around a long time for older people, but to find a good novel for a young person in Large Print began to feel nearly impossible. The books that Thorndike Press publishes have truly made a difference in my son's reading life. He can enjoy current novels as well as some of the classics that he missed reading when it became too difficult with regular print." -- Sara Bernardin, Islamorada, FL

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Terrific! By LonestarReader Peg Kehret has written many wonderful books and she is well known for her "disaster" books. This is one of the best books Kehret has ever written. I could not put it down. Kyle Davidson is winding up his 6th grade year when his father wins a vacation to Oregon. the family is excited about staying on the beautiful Oregon coast in a luxury hotel. When they arrive, they find the accommodations are not what they expected. Still the beach is beautiful and Kyle and his sister BeeBee are enjoying their stay until bully Daren Hazelton and his family arrive. The reader knows as the family reads the warning sign about tsunamis that they are going to be running for their lives before the book is over. His sister BeeBee is a great character. Terrific and exciting read.

Then that night Kyle goes hom and he finds out that his family and him are going on a business trip. Kyle thinks that this trip could get his mind off of him being bullied by Daren. But he soon finds out that Daren and his parents are going on this business trip to. They are going to Oregon for their business trip. Once they get to Oregon they find out that the hotel that they were suppose to be staying in was still being built so they have to stay in the Totem Pole inn which they soon find oout that it is not really a hotel like it once was because they got put oout of business. Then Kyle's parents have to go on a big boat for a meeting that they have to attend. While his parents are on the boat Kyle has to watch his little sister BeeBee. When they are in the Totem Pole inn they order pizza and BeeBee goes to buy a candy bar at the cany machine but she has to go up the elevator to get to the candy machine. Then the elevator quits. And when BeeBee gets back to their room Kyle opens the door and he smells smoke so he calls the front desk to tell them that he had smelled smoke but the line was dead. So Kyle and BeeBee ran out of their room and they found out that there was a fire in the hotel. On their way down the stairs they find a boy laying on the floor unconsions. Kyle bends down to see who it is and it is Daren the bully. So then when Kyle and BeeBee get outside of the hotel they find a very old couple and the couple tell them that there is going to be a tsumani. So they start up the biggest hill and the wave comes. The wave wasn't all that high to reach where they were. Then another one comes and it is only a foot deep to them. Then they escape the giant wave.
