BR 2-10 SURVIVING a Tsunami

 

 I read "SURVIVING a Tsunami", so I will talk about story of the book. In December 2004, a tsunami hit many places in Indonesia. Some people think that a tsunami is a giant wave, but a tsunami isn't just one wave. A tsunami is a number of giant waves that are set off by an earthquake. The earthquake that started the tsunami in 2004 happened close to the coastline of Indonesia. On the day the tsunami hit, a girl walking along the beach when she saw something very odd. The tide was going out when it should have been coming in. People were shouted and looking at the sea. Then a giant wave hit the beach and was racing over the land. Houses and shops were washed away. Her family's house was on a hill. She ran as fast as she could up the hill. At last, she made it to her house and shouted to her family to run to the top of the hill. Wave after wave crashed onto the beach and raced over the land. Later, she found out that the tsunami didn't just hit Indonesia. The tsunami hit countries all over Asia and as far away as Africa. She hope she never see a tsunami again. But if she does, she will know what to do. She will tell everyone to run to the top of a hill.
