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. It is destroying everything in its path during the
most dangerous night of their lives! And little do they know that even if they
do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun... |
