Non-fiction in the vein of Terry Deary’s books. 8 different types of disasters are explored with at least 6 examples for each one – nearly all disasters have one Australian example. Also up to date with the Indian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Has small personal accounts imbedded in each tale. Easy to read (although some of the grammar …mmm…didn’t your teacher ever tell you not to end a sentence with a preposition?)
p.88-89 about how Cockatoo was effected by the Ash Wednesday bushfires ( )
