I read HANNAH AND THE HURRICANE.

Hannah is sixteen and lives on island. She is on holiday from school and is working for Mr. Duval on his glass-bottomed boat. They take people to look at the beautiful fish and the coral reef under the sea. Mr. Duval can only pay Hannah a little money, but she likes working for the old man. Mr. Duval's boat is the only glass-bottomed boat on the island, but one day, a new glass-bottomed boat appears on the island. It is Max Marker's boat. He is very rich and has a big house on the island. Tourists don't take Mr. Duval's boat, because a fare of the boat is more expensive than that of Max Marker's. It's a Max Marker's trick!! A few days later, Max Marker sinks Mr. Duval's boat under the water! Hannah and Mr. Duval are very angry!!
One day, a hurricane hit on the island. Max Marker's big house falls down by a work of the hurricane. Max Marker is buried under debris. Hannah helps him. He thanks her very much, and he understands that money isn't everything.
