Title: The Silent Storm Author: Sherry Garland Pages: 240 Copyright Date: 2004

The main characters in this story are Alyssa, her little brother, and her friend. Alyssa has brown hair and she is 13 years old, she has a wonderful personality but she has not talked since her mother and father got lost at sea. Her little brother is only 8 years old. He had brown hair and was always curious. He has to live with his aunt and uncle and his aunt says that he's allergic to everything .Then her friend was 14 years old and had short brown hair, he was just a very good friend to Alyssa and has a creative personality.

It took place in the fall, because there is a hurricane and hurricanes happen in the end of summer and the middle of Fall. Some places it took place at was the farm and a shrimp boat. It took place on a farm because thats where the horse stalls were and thats where Alyssa and her grandpa lived. The shrimp boat was where Alyssa's friend lowered the nets to catch shrimp, Also, Alyssa's friend took her and her brother on the shrimp boat and the drunk father started the boat and went off in the storm and get lost at sea and there all just stranded on a raft right in the middle of the ocean.

The major problem in my story is that Alyssa and her little brother get stuck in the middle of the storm.They are in the storm for hours and they went to their grandpa's shop and he was nowhere to be seen. They started walking in the dark area where they could not see anything and Alyssa figured out that her grandpa should be at a little barn high on top of a hill that a old couple owned. When they got up there, she only saw her uncle and the old couple, then her uncle had told her that her grandpa went out in the storm to look for them. So Alyssa left her brother there to get warm and get some dry clothes on. Then she went back out into the storm to find her grandpa and not very far away she found him laying on the ground knocked out.

I would reccomend this book for people who like stories that are depressing and pleasant. The genre is mystery. I would reccomend this book for ages 9-14. I think you should read this book because it may teach you some things. I really hope you read this book.
