Bookroo's summary

In the summer of 1900, young Robert Pettibone's boredom turns to terror as a massive hurricane barrels toward Galveston, Texas. Stranded with his strict Aunt Maudie, Robert must navigate the chaos of raging winds and rising waters. As the storm threatens to obliterate the town, can Robert and his aunt find a way to survive the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history? With everything at stake, Robert's courage and resourcefulness are put to the ultimate test. Will they endure the fury of nature, or be swept away by its wrath?

From the publisher

It’s the summer of 1900, and 10-year-old Robert Pettibone is bored. His parents have sent him to stay with his Aunt Maudie in Galveston, Texas. She doesn’t let him do anything by himself. When a storm comes up, he rushes to the beach to take a closer look. But this is no ordinary storm–it’s an enormous hurricane headed straight for Galveston. Raging winds and rising floodwaters threaten to destroy the entire town. Can Robert and his aunt survive the worst natural disaster in U.S. history?
