APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
A young boy and girl decide to see the sea before the storm comes. They follow the path that leads to the ocean and enjoy the low and darkening sky. They feel the wind and watch the branches knocking. They enjoy watching and feeling the waves smash and explode. They know they should go home, but they want to experience more. They continue on the beach path and see beach houses boarded up. A few drops of rain start to fall, but they want more. As they explore, when will they realize that it's time to find the safely of home?
Island Storm is a thrilling text about the sheer power of a violent thunderstorm, and young readers can enjoy it from the comfort of their own homes. Smith's illustrations capture our senses with visually fantastic texture.
