From the Author This novella is a labor of love that spans a few decades; it was first conceived thirty-plus years ago, and has seen many revisions along the way as technology has advanced. However, the main storyline remains the same.It is not a full-blown novel; rather, it was written to be, first and foremost, an epic disaster movie along the lines of "The Towering Inferno" and "The Poseidon Adventure"; character-driven while laden with some awesome special-effects. The reader just has to strap in and be driven along by the spectacle of it all. It is my hope than one day it will come to the silver screen, where the enormity of the story can truly be realized.It is my joy; the fruition of a dream come true. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in bringing it to life!

It is an eventful, suspenseful, and thrilling book with a few twists to it/ So glad I got it. Recommend it highly for all over about 6th grade level. The only reason I say that age is the disaster part of it may be a little much for those younger. It is definitely a family book.

It is a bit of a slow burn to start with, taking slightly more than half of the book to set the scene and establish the characters. This would be fine in a full length novel, but its slightly slow for a novella.The Disaster in the title is some extreme weather, predicted early by a teenage weather forecaster. Dick Travis was orphaned by a tornado as a small child. In his final year of high school he is a keen meteorologist, supported by one of his teachers. The teacher in question was his father's best friend growing up. There's quite a bit of back story established in the early part of the book.That said when the storm finally hits then the pace picks up and there's plenty of action, obstacles and tension. It worked for me and I flew through the second half of Disaster at Havendale faster than it took to read the first half. Mostly the story is told from Dick's point of view, but there are other viewpoints used when it helps the plot along. None of this feels forced. Dick is a real all action hero, and is the character with 90% of the agency in Disaster at Havendale. He anticipates the storm and sounds the alert before it comes officially, then he does his best to save everyone in the school. He's also the one organising the escape and overcoming most of the obstacles.

I just finished this book and find myself pleased with the book as a whole By Amazon Customer I've never written a review in this context before, so forgive me if I ramble as I so often tend to do.I just finished this book and find myself pleased with the book as a whole. It made for a quick read, something that fit into my schedule and that was able to keep my attention throughout--which can be difficult in my busy, busy life. I found myself wishing there was a bit more time for character development, that but that would have taken away from the "quick read" that I am so fond of. I like the story line, and like that it left a few questions unanswered, allowing for a sequel. I can't wait to see how these things turn out!If I were to have a criticism, it would only be the changing between referring to characters by their first name and then the last name. Because of the quickness of the story line, it was somewhat distracting trying to remember which character was being talked about. Other than that, I was pleased with the writing style, the story line, and yes, the character development. I am particularly fond of things that can keep my attention, and this book did just that.Overall, I will definitely recommend this book to my friends that love to read. :)
