“The wind howled like a monster, and the rain came down in sheets, swallowing the city whole.”

A Storm Called Katrina | Myron Uhlberg

This story encourages discussions about preparedness, community resilience, and the importance of helping others during difficult times. It is a good book to recommend to students who are interested in weather or natural disaster history.

Historical Fiction
Published 2011
This book recounts the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans through the eyes of a young boy and his family. The book accurately depicts the catastrophic impact of the storm on New Orleans in 2005, including the destruction of homes, the evacuation process, and the challenges faced by residents. It does a good job of showing the disaster's historical significance and its effects on the community.

“Louis Daniel clutched his horn, even as the storm raged.“ This shows that even through a hard time he clung to what was important to him.

A historical fiction book published in 2011. A moving fictional story about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the people of New Orleans, as seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy. A must-have for introducing this historical event to children.

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on and I liked the balance of the unravelling of Ady and her mother‘s history, the fight against the Confederates, and the relationship between Ady and Lenore. Such great characters in a really compelling story!

“There's an old saying: The first lie wins. It's not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game. The one that is deliberate.”
