good book

I love historical novels and I am really looking forward to reading this during the summer and passing it on to neighbor kids. Hopefully the kids will be able to use the books for their summer reading programs.

I like reading books about the San Francisco 1906 earthquake. This book was okay, but not very good in my opinion.

It had the makings of an interesting storyline: A photographer and her assistant are leaving to go on a worldwide trip. However, just as they are about to embark on their exciting adventure, the pair is stopped in their tracks by the infamous 1906 earthquake. So they are forced to remain in California and forget about their once-in-a-lifetime journey. These two young women must instead help pick up the broken pieces of the city and photograph the disaster through their eyes. They lend a hand any way they are able to, making new friends along the way... even meeting famous author, Jack London.

There were several points in the book that I thought should not be included--things that were slightly inappropriate. I couldn't recommend "Earthquake at Dawn" to my own friends. If venturing to read it, minimum age for this book, I'd say 14 & up.

If you are interested in reading a fictional account of this historic event, I would rather recommend for you to read Quake!: Disaster in San Francisco, 1906 by Gail Langer Karwoski.

This book was great from the very beginning. It is a story about a young photographer , Edith Ivrine, and her assistant, Daisy Valentine, traveling the world to take pitures an show Ediths prints of yosemite at a convention. Their first stop is in San Fransisco where they were planning to leave straight away to sail to Australia. But isntead they found themselves enduring the overwhemliing tragedy of the San Fransisco earthquake and fire. Edith uses this disaster to record the events happening, with her camera against the will of the police officers. This novel has you feel like you are walking the streets covered in crumbled buildings alongs side these two girls.

I really enjoyed the book Earthquake at Dawn. It's about the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake/fire that happened at dawn (hence the name Earthquake at Dawn). Even though it is historical fiction, it had a lot of true things that made it incredibly believable. Kristina Gregory definitely made the story good by adding some subplots that kept your interest. The subplots were real things too, like Edith and Daisy getting separated from their father, and Molly dying of lack of healthcare. This was a really good, captivating book which I think many people will cherish for years to come.

Earthquake at Dawn is a great book. It is about Edith Irvine, a dedicated photographer, and her 15-year-old assistant Daisy. On their way to Europe, the earthquake hits and they have to stop in San Francisco, which is mostly destroyed and collapsing. After the quake, a great fire erupts and several of the city's houses and buildings they had not already fallen burn to the ground. The two are separated from Edith's father, who was traveling with them, and they become friends with a few other survivors. Meanwhile, the mayor is creating even more trouble. Men and women are threatened to being shot for using toilets or electricity, and dynamite, in an attempt to stop the fire, is being set off. But, Edith documents the trip with her photographs, even though that could mean death if she was caught by the mayor, who doesn't want the rest of the country to know the real disaster that is happening in San Francisco. In this incredibly realistic novel, Kristiana Gregory tells the exciting story, based on a letter written by survivor Mary Exa Atkin Campbell and the real photographs taken by Edith Irvine. I would highly recommend this book.

Kristiana Gregory really brings out Edith Irvine as a devoted photographer. Even in the midst of all the turmoil, she snaps 60 photos, possibly more! In this true-to-life novel, the famous San Francisco earthquake takes place, however, the quake is not the worst that happens! The fire that the quake created was. It lasted three days and killed an estimated five to ten thousand people. The mayor exploded dynamite to try to get rid of the fire, but the dynamite only created more. This novel also illustrates the annoying floor length dresses that the ladies of 1906 had to wear and the automobiles of Daisy's time. In some books earthquakes are made up just for entertainment. Not this one! This earthquake was real. The first shock was on April 18, 1906 and was recorded at 5:12:05 a.m. and it lasted for 45 seconds. There were 27 earthquakes that were actually recorded that day. Mary Exa Atkins Campbell told the earthquake's story.
Photographer Edith Irvine and her assistant, Fiftenth year old daisy Valentine, are en route to photography exhabit in Europe when their travels are abrupty canceled. From a boat in the harbor, Edith and Daisy watch in horror as the city begains to crumble. Separated from Edith's father who had escorted them to San Francisco, two young woman search the city in search for him, witnissing tearing up the city and homes. The city is burning in flames. Edith furtively document these images with her camera against the explisid orders of her mayor who does not want the world to know that the turis favorit attraction is know a disaster area. So if you want to find out whats going to happen you betteread this book?
