Hurricane Song: A Novel of New Orleans

136 pp. | Viking | May, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-06160-0 $15.99
(3) YA Narrator Miles, an African American teenager, describes in graphic detail the chaos and violence that erupts at the Louisiana Superdome during Hurricane Katrina. The novel not only focuses on Katrina's physical effects but also on the racial implications of the government's failure to help New Orleans's population. A confrontational relationship between Miles and his jazz-musician father adds to the story's tension.
