The horror of Hurricane Katrina is brought vividly to life in this
fictional account of a boy, a dog, and the storm of the century.
Barry's family tries to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina hits their
home in 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 bad as 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?
