What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I fmy memory serves correctly, the MC was exploring the beach after her house was destroyed, thought the storm was over but it turned out she was in the eye of the storm. I remember it being creepy exploring the empty ship and finding the orangutan.

If Australian it would be called a cyclone.
Allan Baillie (author) maybe, can't think if he wrote it but recall a title called Wreck (have not read it).
Seems like something Michael Morpurgo would write too.
This is without searching though to check either.

Here is the description for Wreck! By Allan Baillie.
https://www.librarything.com/work/833...
When the fury of the cyclone seems to have passed, Reene and Ian crawl from the safety of their cave to see a rusty freighter on their beach. The abandoned freighter beckons them to climb on to its decks. But it's a trap. Within a short hour they are caught inside as shrieking winds and wild seas try to tear the vessel apart.

The sequel is Saving Abbie.

So yes, looks like my hunch was correct.


Wreck

Yep. Seconding Wreck.

Well, hope the original poster returns. I may not see the response. "Notify me when people comment" has not been working for me.

Yes it's Wreck!!!
That is the book I have been searching for.

Thank you everyone for helping me track this down.
