Synopsis
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.

From AudioFile
Since tornadoes are a way of life in summertime Grand Island, Nebraska, Don and his buddies think nothing of the latest tornado watch. Narrator Riley Dugan is outstanding as the multitude of diverse and colorful characters who inhabit this 1980s story. Before the storm we meet Aunt Goldie, Mrs. Smiley, Don's baby brother, even Jimmy Carter is mentioned. As the boys demonstrate small-town life, they help and are helped by numerous people because when you yell help, everyone becomes your neighbor, including Mennonites and people from Texas. Dugan perfectly captures young innocence and excitement while elderly wisdom and resignation keep things real. This action-packed coming-of-age story will captivate young listeners.
