Rebecca Behrens specialises in realistic survival fiction for younger readers, and The Disaster Days is a standout. Hannah is babysitting on a small island near Seattle when a massive earthquake cuts the family off from help, and suddenly she is the only one keeping two younger kids safe through the chaos. Praised by reviewers for taking natural disaster preparedness seriously without ever feeling like a lecture, it is a great pick for upper primary readers who like their adventure grounded in something that could really happen.
