Newbery Honor creator Rodman Philbrick presents a gripping yet poignant novel about a 12-year-old boy and his dog who change into trapped in New Orleans all through 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. Abruptly separated from all circle of relatives, Zane and his dog experience the terror of Katrina’s wind, rain, and horrific flooding. Facing death, they’re 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 give a contribution 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 strengthen all through the disaster in addition to 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 in point of fact challenging circumstances.
