Its a sad story about an earthquake that strikes town.

I think that it was awsome having 2 stories in one book! the auther did well describing. And it was nice that People came to help the community that helped them. 5 starz highly recommended

I loved that this story was told in both the past and present. The characters were interesting and I loved how it all came together! A great historical fiction read!

I liked that it went back and forth between two stories in the past and present. I also liked that there was a lot of detail. Even without many pictures, I felt like I had a really good visual image in my head. Lastly, in the story of the past, I liked that it told you the story of the boy's grandfather's childhood.

Takes place half in the past and half in modern day. I enjoyed that it was a mystery, and the author revealed clues from the grandpa's past that helped solve it.
