(4) YA On September 8, 1900, a hurricane hit Galveston Island, killing thousands. Hale states in her author's note that she read first-person accounts of the storm and wanted to honor those who lived through it. She does, but the power of the setting and the survivors' experiences overwhelm all other elements of this novel, particularly the underdeveloped conflict between sixteen-year-old Seth and his father.
