we read this as a group in school .....exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a very intense book. In reading class we had to discuss the book a lot. I would recommend this book to a person that doesn't have night meres with scary movies.

I absolutely loved this book! I thought it was very dramatic and had lots of suspense. I loved how the characters changed and grew from the beginning to the end of the story. I also really liked how the main character Dan was able to take charge and be the "man" in the family. I would highly recommend this book to any 4th grade student!

I would reccomen Night of the Twisters to peoples that like adeventure and action books. One of my favorite parts of the book was when Dan was runnig to K-mart to find his mom and to find a surprise he did not like. Dan did not find his mom there, where could she be?
