This entire series is very popular with middle grade readers. Chapters are short and the books are historically accurate and have a lot of action in them. While it's not my favorite book, I read it cover to cover in one sitting, so it kept me reading.In this book, in particular, I wish that the ending had been a little more developed and incorporated a more critical view of individual groups who were most affected by Hurricane Katrina - however, that could easily be done if read as a class and if students read with a critical eye. This book is about a New Orleans family and how hurricane Katrina effected them. In mid 2005, all of New Orleans evacuated, but not everyone could get out. This certain family was trapped and nearly died trying to save others! This genre is realistic fiction because it gave you a taste in what it would be like to live through it. This book was very dramatic and brought the reader into it but overall it was okay. Not the best book but also not the worst
What do You think about Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (2011)?
This is the first chapter book that I have read to Caleb. Now we're working on Charlotte's Web.

Beehive Nominee 2015-it was good but a little fast paced and confusing.
