The horror of Hurricane Katrina is brought vividly to life in this fictional account of a boy, a dog, and the storm of the century. Barry's family tries to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina hits their home in New Orleans. But when Barry's little sister gets terribly sick, they're forced to stay home and wait out the storm. At first, Katrina doesn't seem to be as bad as predicted. But overnight the levees break, and Barry's world is literally torn apart. He's swept away by the floodwaters, away from his family. Can he survive the storm of the century -- alone? Turtleback binding is a highly durable alternative to a hardcover or paperback book. The comprehensive cover reinforcement process will drastically combat wear and tear, keeping your favorite books in great condition for years to come! Turtleback books are ideal for any reader, or for use in schools or libraries.

woah :o!! i'm your biggest fan!!! :D Could you make a book with the name hunter in it i honestly don't care how you do it like a ship or a person preferably please and thank you so much. oh i forgot to say that i am mind blown right now because you have most best ideas on planet earth. I have a suggestion about the challenger rocket exploded for another i survived book and I hope that my suggestion was good and thank you for letting me have the opportunity to say something because other authors make my review least helpful even when it has at least 4 paragraphs. so again thank you for the opportunity to speak. (p.s. this is by a 9 year old who started to read i survived books when i was 3 years old.)

My 8yo loves this series. And we actually did live through hurricane Katrina before he was born. It’s a sweet story and a great bit of history for him about his family.

Great Book

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2013

My son learned a lot about Hurricane Katrina. He read about 4 books from this series while being in Florida. I purchased this book as a summer read and I will tell you this, he enjoyed it because he is 9 years old and it was told from a child's perspective. He continues to ask me for them when he sees one that he hasn't read. Along with this for the summer he read Battle of Gettysburg, 1863; The Shark Attack of 1916; and I survived the Attacks of September 11th. This one really hit home because we live in Manhattan and I wanted him to understand what really happened. He decided to put the books in order and I thought that was a great idea. So would I recommend theses book?????? D E F I N I T E L Y !!!!!!!!

This is a well told story. The emotions and descriptions were vivid and believable. It was easy to visualize the things Barry was experiencing.

I bought this book for my grandson and we read it together. The story has important themes about family, perseverance, courage, helping each other as well as friendship and tragedy. I heartily recommend this book. Young readers don't know about Hurricane Katrina and this is an important part of our nation's history. The author writes with engaging descriptions and emotion.

Great stories for 8 to 13 year olds.

The "I Survived" series of books have been a huge hit with my Grandkids. Both my grandson 8 and my granddaughter 12 love them. Informative, exciting, educational and well written. Lot's of action, heart and adventure. What more can you ask for. My grandson does not like to read but he will read these and Diary of a Wimpy Kid over and over again. My granddaughter loves to read and will re-read this series as well as the "Cementary Road " series by Kate Klise. Both get an A+ from me.
Enjoy

Wonderful story about a terrifying event

I remember when this happened so clearly... It was terrifying to watch on tv. My 11 year old was absolutely shocked by the story. We even watched old news clips about it. The author did a wonderful job.

Great children's book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2019

I'm reading this to my year 4 class (8 and 9 year olds) as it links to our topic of natural disasters. I prepped them with pictures of New Orleans and levies so that they could visualise the setting. It has good pace and language level and the children can easily identify with the main character. Also, it's not too long, so we should be able to finish it easily within the term.
