Wave by Eric Walters is fantastic! It's a fictional story based on the real life events of the tsunami in Thailand at Christmas in 2004. The story of the Beth Brooks and her family although fiction, seems so real. While I was reading I kept thinking to myself that this really happened. I then had to dig up more facts on the true devastation of the tsunami. More than 200,000 people died. That is so hard to comprehend.Every year my grade 8 teacher asks for recommendations for literacy circles that he does with his class. This year I am going to recommend Wave by Eric Walters.
