Book
The most powerful earthquake in American history ... Growing up in the Alaskan wilderness, Jackson has always prided himself on being tough. His family lives in a tiny cabin where their neighbours are grizzlies and wolves. The nearest store is a three-day walk away. Jackson loves his life ... until a fire destroys the family's cabin, and they have to move to the town of Valdez. Adjusting to fifth grade isn't easy. And then Jackson has to face an earthquake of terrifying strength. As the ground shatters and tsunami waves crash into the coast, Jackson learns what it really means to be tough.
