(2) 4-6 This spare, moving novel voiced by an almost-twelve-year-old African American narrator covers five days before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina. Packing, boarding up windows, checking on neighbors, making and unmaking plans as the situation changes--all are perfectly captured by Woods. The authentic New Orleans setting works as a powerful character, adding an extra dimension to the compelling story.
