夜明けの巨大地震 (マジック・ツリーハウス (12))

The earthquake feels so vivid and real — I wonder if the author based it on personal experience or research. How did they decide to portray such a powerful natural event for middle-grade readers?

The tension was so well done that I genuinely worried about their safety. I'm curious if the author aimed for that level of suspense intentionally or if it just came naturally.

It’s exciting but also educational. I’d love to know if the author set out to create an informative story or if that was a happy accident during writing.
