The Disaster Days

Age 8 to 12 Hannah Steele loves living on Pelling, a tiny island near Seattle. It might be disconnected from the outside world, but she’s always felt completely safe there. So when she’s asked to babysit after school, she thinks it’s no big deal. Zoe and Oscar are her next-door neighbors, and Hannah just took a babysitting class that pretty much makes her an expert. She isn’t even worried that she left her inhaler at home. Then the shaking begins. The terrifying earthquake only lasts four minutes, but it changes everything, damaging the house, knocking out the power, and making cell service nonexistent. Even worse, the ferry and the bridge connecting the kids to help - and their parents - are both blocked. They’re stranded and alone, and Hannah’s in charge as things go from bad to dangerous.
