Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Ten-year-old Leo is a newsboy in San Francisco. He loves to be able to make money and explore the city. But in one minute, it all changes. The Great Earthquake destroys 500 blocks of San Francisco in just one minute. The city crumbles and burns to the ground right before Leo's eyes. Will he survive this terrifying disaster? I like when Tarshis gives the characters multiple conflicts to deal with and I feel she balanced the multiple plot lines nicely in this book. My only qualm was a character mentioning that they smelled the gas leaks. Natural gas didn't start getting odorized in the US until around the 1920s and it wasn't widespread until the 1930s (after a school exploded in a natural gas disaster that killed three hundred and injured hundreds more). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Ten-year-old Leo loves being a newsboy in San Francisco -- not only does he get to make some money to help his family, he's free to explore the amazing, hilly city as it changes and grows with the new century. Horse-drawn carriages share the streets with shiny new automobiles, new businesses and families move in every day from everywhere, and anything seems possible. But early one spring morning, everything changes. Leo's world is shaken -- literally -- and he finds himself stranded in the middle of San Francisco as it crumbles and burns to the ground. Does Leo have what it takes to survive this devastating disaster? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

In present day Leo is a newsboy in San Francisco. He makes very little money, but he is okay with that, it’s enough to get by and he isn’t forced to sell his prized gold nugget. One day Leo is on his way to turn in the money for the papers he sells and he gets jumped by the bullies in the area. They shake him upside down and take his money and the gold nugget. Leo then has to come up with w plan to get it back.
The night he tries to get it back the Earthquake happens. Leo nearly ends up dead but he manages to survive. It is a scary situation and considering his age, I’d say he handles things better then most adults would have. I like the description within the books as well as the illustrations. They help the reader to clearly visualize what the author is trying to portray.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series very soon. ( )
