A Storm Called Katrina | Myron Uhlberg

“The wind howled like a monster, and the rain came down in sheets, swallowing the city whole.”

A Storm Called Katrina | Myron Uhlberg

This story encourages discussions about preparedness, community resilience, and the importance of helping others during difficult times. It is a good book to recommend to students who are interested in weather or natural disaster history.

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.

A historical fiction book published in 2011. A moving fictional story about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the people of New Orleans, as seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy. A must-have for introducing this historical event to children.

For anyone that hasn't played yet....
Tagged my all time fav. And to be fair I actively hated at least 2 of these.

TheBookHippie Me - Did I read this? Yes. Did I like it? NO … on waaaay to many of these 😝🤣 4mo
vlwelser @TheBookHippie I said 2, posted, and then realized it's at least 5+. Some I was like oh I read a chapter of that and no thanks and didn't read the others. Also where the heck is Margaret Atwood? 4mo
TheBookHippie @vlwelser the list is 🥴😫 4mo

Bookwormjillk @vlwelser good question! 4mo
vlwelser @TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk I'd almost rather see a list of authors' actual favorites as opposed to what they think people want to hear. 4mo
TheBookHippie @vlwelser 💯 agree. 4mo
Bookwormjillk @vlwelser yes! Would have loved to have seen someone nominate a Grisham or something. 4mo
vlwelser @Bookwormjillk or something like Tia Williams or a psychological thriller 4mo
Bookwormjillk @vlwelser I didn‘t see any middle grade or YA either 4mo

A very informative book, about this very upsetting event in history,
I can't believe that next year it will be 20 years since it happened.

Library book 📖

4/5
