Troy and Nita are sent home early from school because of a hurricane warning. But instead of going straight home, they stop to visit a friend. So they get caught up in the storm and don't get back until well after dark. This exciting adventure vividly brings to life the effects of a hurricane on a small tropical island. A great cross-over title for the classroom for talking about weather and its devastating effects.
