(3) YA Seventeen-year-old Mira adores her quirky, close-knit New Jersey island community. Her mother and sick brother are on the mainland when a freak hurricane decimates their beloved home, leaving Mira to navigate the storm's wreckage on her own. Mira's narration is striking and stylized, if occasionally challenging to follow; persistent readers will be rewarded with a quiet survival story that speaks to the importance of community.
