Quake! Lib/E: Disaster in San Francisco, 1906
Buildings were weaving in and out. The street pitched like a stormy sea. Bricks were raining down all around him. The ground shook with such violence that Jacob thought the world had come to an end. In award-winning author Gail Langer Karwoski's stirring fictional account of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, young listeners will relive the drama of the actual event and its devastating aftermath through the courageous survival of a young boy.

From the Back Cover:
While the good ol' boy may be glorified in Dixie, you don't need to be Southern to appreciate one. In fact, Cannon contends that this cherished American figure is an international phenomenon. As salty as boiled peanuts, HEY BUBBA provides a portrait of those not so subtle aspects of this myth. Cannon has even provided tips for those who venture away from the kudzu-covered homestead to the glass and steel of corporate America.
