"A satisfying read." --School Library Journal
Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive storms in American
history. In this fictional tale, daring twins Jo Jo and Sophie battle
the raging floodwaters in a fight for their lives.
For twins Jo Jo and Sophie Dupre, Hurricane Katrina isn't the most
important thing on their minds-not compared their mother's cancer
treatments, Sophie's swim meet, and Jo Jo's upcoming coding competition.
But when the storm intensifies and there's only one seat their aunt's
car, Mom has to be the one to evacuate. The twins and their father are
stuck at home in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
The winds rise-and with them, the waves. The levees break and floodwater
rages through the city. During the chaos, Jo Jo and Sophie are swept
away. Together, they must find their way to the Superdome, where their
father should be waiting-but can they escape the wrath of one of the
deadliest storms in history?
