Brandon Loehrke's Reviews > Twister on Tuesday

"Twister on Tuesday" starts off, on a Tuesday, when Jack and Annie get taken to a prairie in Kansas. When they get to the prairie they find a schoolhouse with a young teacher and three children. One of the students was being a bully towards Jack. As the students are eating they hear thunder and loud rain. They decide to look outside, and they see hail and dark clouds. Jack knows there is a storm coming and tells Annie they need to leave. Jack wants to leave, but Annie wants to help Mrs. Neely and the other kids. Jack and Annie take them into a cellur until the twister is gone. When the storm clears up they go back home.

The main characters of this book are Jack, Annie, Jeb, and Mrs. Neely. Jack is very smart, but not as outgoing as his sister. Annie loves adventures, and will do anything to have fun on them. Jeb is one of the students in the schoolhouse. He bullies Jack during the story. Mrs. Neely is the schoolhouse teacher. She is very young for being a teacher.

The setting of this story takes place in a schoolhouse in Kansas. The schoolhouse is on a prarie. The time period of this book takes place during the 1870's.

The main theme of this story is teamwork. The children and Mrs. Neely have to work together to get out of the way of the storm. If they would not of worked together they would not of made it to safety.

I would recommend this book to younger children who are reading chapter books. This book is easy to read and teaches a good life lesson.
