5th graders loved this book

I'm the Breakfast Book Club coordinator for my children's elementary school. I read and selected this book for the 5th grade group. It was the book they liked the most. I'm keeping it on this year's list.

A good, but short read...

Quake: A novel is a good book. It is set in the late eighties, in California. I really enjoyed it and it shows how much things have changed just since then. I'm a teen and I would say that when I first started reading this book I thought that some of the characters were kind of shallow, but by the end of the book I didn't think that anymore. I really recomend this book!!

read it after the '94 Northridge quake

Although I can't say this book was the most well-written and influential book I'd ever read (that's Mark Twain's job), I can say that it was a helpful read at that time in my life. I read this book in elementary school, only a couple years after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Even though my family hadn't experienced any substantial losses, the destruction was everywhere, and it left a strong impression on me. Reading this book was assuring; to experience a story set around an earthquake through the narrator's eyes was almost cathartic. I read this book again a few times, even.

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!

This book is about two former friends who see each other for the first time in a long time. Their parents are going to the world series together. While they are visiting there is a massive earthquake. What will happen?

I liked this book because of the intense description. Another reason is because of the plot of the story. My favorite character was Sydney because he acts just like a little boy should. He likes bllod, guts, and war movies. The best part of the book was when the earthquake hit. The reason is because the author made it very real. It made you feel like it happened to you. The ending is disappointing because I wanted something else to happened.
