Storm Chasers meets Stranger Things ! An action-packed coming-of-age story of both natural disaster and the bravery it takes to face it. When a tornado watch is issued one Tuesday evening in June, twelve-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, the wind begins to howl, and the lights and telephone stop working. Then the emergency siren starts to wail. Dan, his baby brother, and Arthur have only seconds to get to the basement before the monstrous twister is on top of them. Little do they know that even if they do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun... Review: Love this book! - I originally got this book when I was in elementary school (I'mnow 47), and it has always been one of my favorites. I only found a few years ago that there tornadoes written about in Grand Island were from a true event! I remember as a child being sucked (haha) into this world of Dan Hatch and the awful night's events, and being mesmerized. Review: Love this Book - Great little used purchase for a quick summer read for my 8th grader.

Nostalgic Read
Bought for my son as I read it as a young kid and wanted him to as well. Easy, enjoyable read.

Worth the Wait
I read this book throughout grade school and am delighted to have found the same hard cover copy that I so fondly remember. As the other reviews have mentioned, it's a great, easy reading story for kids (and us adults who still love it). What I would like to mention is the great experience I had with the seller, Best Bargain Books. When I emailed them to say it had arrived on time, they promptly replied to my email to address my concerns. It arrived shortly thereafter, and it was worth the wait. The book is in perfect condition, which is notable considering this edition was published in 1984. I am very pleased with my experience and highly recommend it to interested readers!

Saw The Movie, Now To Read The Book That Started It All
The Night of the Twisters's movie had me reeling into the original storybook that started it all in the first place. Much like many other kids and teens books into movies, I couldn't ignore this one.

New??
The cover of the book was so bent in half it looks like it's about to come off. The rest if the book is fine, but when the condition says new, I expect more. Other than that happy purchase.

Mother & Son Approved!
My 9 year old was reading this in school and I had always wanted to read it—so I did. I honestly couldn’t put it down and the two of us have been walking about it for weeks after.

Exciting Story!
Exciting, quick book. We got this because it is a battle book for the fourth grade, and my fourth grader and I took turns reading it out loud. She couldn't wait to finish it and took it after I finished reading at bedtime and finished the book.
