This book by Julie T. Lamana is her first novel, but she was a Literacy Specialist so that helps explain why it’s so good.
The book is about a girl named Armani and others who experienced Hurricane Katrina.
Although I had read and seen news reports about that hurricane, this book made me feel as if I actually experienced it.
Armani is separated from family members and others she cares about and must deal with loosing almost everything, and with all the problems of the hurricane’s aftermath.
The characters are all realistic, so their emotional trauma is gripping. It’s not a book for the faint hearted, but it’s a powerful and hopeful story.
