What is Twister about?

<p>Although she sees them safely to the cellar, Mama has to leave Lucille and Natt and go help Mr. Lyle, an elderly neighbor. &quot;Don&#39;t open this door,&quot; she tells them, &quot;until I come back with Mr. Lyle.&quot; But Mama doesn&#39;t come back, and Lucille must comfort Natt throughout the terrifying -- if familiar -- experience. From the opening scene, in which the children are enjoying their porch swing on a bright spring day, to the closing scene, in which Mama and Mr. Lyle are snugly seated with them on the now-broken swing amid devastation, Darleen Bailey Beard is saying in reassuring text and Nancy Carpenter in warm, impressionistic pictures that twisters are natural -- and not always disasters.</p><h3>Riverbank Review - Mary Lou Burket</h3><p>One can enjoy <i>Twister<i> purely for its reassuring story and its realistic pictures...the pictures of the children, with their lively and expressive hands and feet, are especially fine. But if a reader grasps a theme along the way...the strength of children to get through a brief yet very frightening incident, connections that last when other connections are severed...so much the better. </p>
