The story of a boy, a dog, and the storm of the century is brought
vividly to life in this graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's
bestselling I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005, with text adapted by
Georgia Ball.
Barry's family tries to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina hits their
home in New Orleans. But when his 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
off by the floodwaters, away from his family. Can he survive the storm
of the century -- alone?
