Reception
In his review for 'Childhood Education' in 1997, J. Robert Dornish described the story as "absolutely riveting", noting that it is likely to affect the readers reactions to news reports of earthquakes. In another review for the 'School Library Journal', MaryAnn Karre, reviewing the audiobook version released in 2012 noted that "youngsters may find it hard to comprehend how the family could be so out of touch, but Peg Kehret wrote this story [in 1998] before cell phones became a necessity."
