I love both of the last two books mentioned. I've read all Shute's  (I hope that wasn't a greengrocers wot I just dun).

The Hurricane by R.J. Prescott  (There are so many book titles with the word, 'hurricane', displayed prominently.  When I was a kid I read 'The Hurricane' and can't remember who wrote it - now there are millions of hurricane novels.)
