<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A hurricane's coming, and eleven-year-old Sophie Washington's typical middle school life in the Houston, Texas suburbs is about to make a major change. One day she's teasing her little brother, Cole, dodging classmate Nathan Jones' wayward science lab frog and complaining about "braggamuffin" cheerleader Valentina Martinez, and the next, she and her family are fleeing for their lives to avoid dangerous flood waters. Finding a place to stay isn't easy during the disaster, and the Washingtons get some surprise visitors when they finally do locate shelter. To add to the trouble, three members of the Washington family go missing during the storm, and new friends lose their home. In the middle of it all, Sophie learns to be grateful for what she has and that she is stronger than she ever imagined."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>AN AMAZON BESTSELLING BOOK FOR KIDS!!</p><p> <strong>Are you ready for the hurricane?
