Safe+as+Houses+Review

=**//"We had no power, no electricity, and now, without the phone, we had no way to call back to shore. We were alone. And I was the captain."//**= =On October 15th,1954, a girl named Lizzie Hardy takes care of two children she babysits- a Grade 6 boy named David McBride and his Grade 2 sister Suzie. Later in the rainy day, Lizzie notices that the Humber River is rolling off its banks and the power goes out. Soon water starts flooding in the house. Lizzie and the kids are at the tallest platform of the house and water is at their knees.= =Will they make it out of the disaster alive? Find out in __Safe as Houses.__= =Lizzie is a high-school student that takes care of David and Suzie McBride, who recently moved from Toronto. David is an ignorant Grade 6 boy who gets in trouble, such as detention, and makes fun of Weston, his new home. Suzie is a sweet Grade 2 girl who loves Lizzie and her dog, Daisy.= =Safe as Houses is one of the best books I've read and to prove it, it has been my 5th time reading it. I recommend it to 5th graders+ and to those who love thrills and excitement.=
