I thought Kyle and BeeBee both seemed like characters I could relate to and because Kyle was 13 it made sense that his parents left them alone for the evening so they could go to the ceremony. I have read other books by this author and have enjoyed them all. Will a tsunami hit? Can l Kyle and BeeBee survive if it does? What will happen to their parents and Daren? You'll have to read this fast paced book to find out how it all ends.Įscaping the Giant Wave by Peg Kehret was a page turner. Along the way they find an elderly couple who is out walking their dog, trying to get to a safe place. He's not sure how high up they need to go, but he knows they need to get away from the ocean. Kyle and BeeBee start to trek up a nearby mountain. They had to get moving! Kyle tries to convince Daren to go with them, but he won't listen. Kyle remembers a sign he saw at the beach about giant waves that can come after an earthquake. They see Daren and try to help him get outside. An earthquake hits and the hotel is on fire. When Kyle’s parents go to an awards ceremony out on a large ship off the coast, they leave him to watch his sister, BeeBee, for the night. As they are checking into the hotel Kyle sees a bully, Daren, from school. He gets to fly on a plane for the first time and see the Pacific Ocean during their visit to Oregon's coast. Thirteen year old Kyle is excited for his family vacation.
