    THE KILLING SEA is a thrilling book that talks about a tsunami hitting the coast of Indonesia. There are three main
    characters involved in this fictionalized account:  Ruslan, who is an Indonesian, and Sarah and Steve, who are
    Americans that are visiting the country.

    Sarah’s and Steve’s mom and dad asked to see Ruslan's dad to repair their boat that they needed to have fixed.
    Ruslan doesn’t have a mother because she died a few years ago so he has to work. His dad is a mechanic.

    Then a tsunami hits the coast. Ruslan knows that his dad is working on an oil tanker out at sea so he thinks he is
    okay. Sarah and Steve are on their boat when the tsunami hits. They run for their lives but lose track of their parents.

    The book tells you those two stories and what they do after the tsunami. When an exciting part happens, they switch
    over to another point of view to make you want to read more.

    I loved THE KILLING SEA and I hope when you read it you do, too.
