Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick presents a gripping yet poignant novel about a 12-year-old boy and his dog who become trapped in New Orleans during the horrors of Hurricane Katrina. Zane Dupree is a charismatic 12-year-old boy of mixed race visiting a relative in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hits. Unexpectedly separated from all family, Zane and his dog experience the terror of Katrina's wind, rain, and horrific flooding. Facing death, they are rescued from an attic air vent by a kind, elderly musician and a scrappy young girl--both African American. The chaos that ensues as storm water drowns the city, shelter and food vanish, and police contribute to a dangerous, frightening atmosphere, creates a page-turning tale that completely engrosses the reader. Based on the facts of the worst hurricane disaster in U.S. history, Philbrick includes the lawlessness and lack of government support during the disaster as well as the generosity and courage of those who risked their lives and safety to help others. Here is an unforgettable novel of heroism in the face of truly challenging circumstances. Review: Ben💩😬😄💩💩💩💩💩 - Dfgbbbbbb b cv. V v v f v cv c cv v bcc cc v.

This book was riveting. I could not put it down until the last page. The story was factual and the story line held my attention.
This book was riveting. I could not put it down until the last page. The factual information and page turning story line made this one of the best books I've ever read. I am surprised this book did not win a Newberry. I plan to buy a class set of books and share this with my class. Wanda Nichol 4th grade teacher

What a good book!
First let me say that Mr. Philbrick is one of my favorite authors! this book was written for young readers but I am enjoying it. As a 6th grade teacher I pre-read books to recommend to my students and this will be one of them. It is a well written and gentle way to have children read about Katrina and what the people of New Orleans had to go through not just getting through the storm but it's aftermath.

Adventure, voice, and the power of family
Zane comes from the NE to visit his great grandmother and soon finds himself separated from her, and right in the midst of Hurricane Katrina. This non-stop adventure features a believable and lovable nearly thirteen-year-old boy. An elderly man and a young girl rescue him from the attic where he is about to drown. He learns a lot about a kind of life he has never before seen, and of how to survive in the worst that nature can throw at him. So well-written.

Great book.
Wow, my son brought this book home from the library at school and I couldn't put it down. I had to download it so I could reading it while he was at school. Breathtaking and suspenseful. Great story and a great read. Thanks for writing it. You expressed the rawness of the sad situation and I felt water all the characters felt
