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.

Fabulous, educational books

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2013

this series of books is easy to read and packed full of facts about current day events (and historical events). The author puts them in the context of a story from the perspective of certain individuals living through these dramatic events. It allows your child to see what it would have felt like to be there experiencing this. It makes it come alive. I highly recommend these stories. Read them with your kid and it gives you great topics of conversation to engage in.

Fantastic Part of a Whole Wonderful Series

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

This whole series is great. She really presents historical fiction is an interesting, and exciting way for young readers, without being overly scary or inappropriate. My son has devoured all that is out and we stalk her FB page for when the next addition (Pompeii) will be out. My son love to read naturally, but this series I have caught him trying to read after bed time. That says a lot to take a shot on getting in trouble because you are so engrossed in a book. Love them all, and this one is great as it opened his eyes to more interest on the topic, and we went to you tube to watch past news videos so he could learn more about it from a ground zero stand point. It also let him tie in his own knowledge with Sandy that we are still recovering from. Lauren Tarshis really develops the characters in a way that is believable and keeps you tied to the real event in history.

Grandson loves this series

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015

I purchased this book for my 9 1/2 year old grandson. He really loves this series, and quite enjoyed this book. It was easy for him to read and understand, and kept him interested (and talking about it) to the end of the book. I highly recommend this book, and this series, for young readers who want something "real' to read about.

Survival in a Hurricane

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2011

Verified Purchase

These I Survived books are great for reluctant readers. They are short, action-packed, and interesting. The writing is just detailed enough for the reader to be able to put themselves into the action, but not so detailed that the action slows down. Tarshis knows her audience and how to tell a gripping story. Highly recommended for anyone who likes survival stories.

Easy to understand. The book allowed my son to feel what the main character was feeling.
All the I survived books are great!

My kid is 8 and loves to read these books, he likes that they have a "real" aspect to them...he is an extremely picky reader and it is so hard to find books that he likes to read, so I am amazed he loves to read this set of books, there has not been one yet from the series that he has not thoroughly enjoyed!

Great children's book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

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.
