I survived Hurricane Katrina
Author - Lauren Tarshis
Grade/Reading Level - 3-5
Barry is a regular kid in a regular neighborhood in a regular town until the hurricane came. Barry's family tries to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina hits their home in the Lower Ninth Ward of 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 severe a storm as forecasters 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?
