I had two quibbles with the story. The first is that the dog he brings home the night before is the most active character in the whole book; the mutt should have been named Plot Point. He's the one who saves Jacob from being buried in the quake, he's the one who saves San, he reunites the family. The dog initiates every major event. The other issue is the sanitized way that looting was handled. In two cases, business owners encouraged people to loot their stores because the army was going to dynamite them, anyway. I'm sure there were some cases like that, but really? I think it would have been okay for Jacob to salvage some food under the circumstances, "permission" or not.
In all, though, a good action-filled historical fiction book for kids, and one I'll pass along to my son. ( )
