Although this isn't written by someone who was in the Tsunami, I blieve that she had done her research. This felt very real to me, though I would like to note I haven't been in an earthquake or a tsunami before as I live in Scotland.

My son was asking me why all of the Authors books have kids who are missing at least one parent. Not sure, I guess it makes for a more dramatic telling of these events?

These books are legit terrifying? Maybe they seem too remote/"it could never happen to me" to kids, but the contemporary ones scare me a whole lot.
