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.
