Under the Ashes by Cindy Rankin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. Wonderful middle school historical novel. Well researched and what a great spunky protagonist as well as a guest appearance of Caruso. Truly captures the feeling of being in San Francisco on the morning of April 18th 1906.
I have not been on such a huge disaster as the 1906 earthquake though I have lived through two major ones in my lifetime. The author has caught the feel and comradely and fear that comes with it.
Would highly recommend it.
Thanks to netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
