Product Description
The storm of the centruy—and the survival story of a lifetime!
It's the end of August 2005, and a big hurricane is blowing in to New Orleans, Louisiana. Barry's family plans to evacuate the Ninth Ward with everyone else, but when Barry's little sister gets violently ill, they must return to their home and stick out the storm.
At first, everything seems fine. But then the levees break, the water rises, Barry is swept out of his home, and everything changes. Stranded in the floodwaters with no idea where he is and only a stranded dog by his side, Barry must find the courage to survive the storm of the century.
Lauren Tarshis brings history's most exciting and terrifying events to life in this new fictional series. Readers will be transported by stories of amazing kids and how they survived!

great book for boys who don't like reading, Jun 26 2011
By Kenneth Garrison "Aubie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (Paperback)
I am struggling with getting my 9 year old (in the 4.1 to 5.1 AR Zone) son to love reading and he is fighting me tooth and nail, every step of the way, from dusk till dawn, inside and out, top to bottom, fluoxetine to alprazolam, etc.etc., so this book has been a great blessing.The book is told from the perspective of the most likely reader, a 10 year old boy how survives katrina. This book is 95 pages long with a 3 page addendum that answers questions about after the storm/ aftermath. You will find illustrations about every 10 pages (my son still likes pictures).
My son really developed a new empathy of the Hurrican Katrina and he was very concerned about the main character, little boy named 'Barry' and 'Cruz' the dog that survived with him.
This is exactly what some boys need in books: Action, Action, and more Action. I hope the author will continue to churn these little gems out.

This review is from: I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (Paperback)
My 7 year old son just read this book. It is excellent for grade 2 students to read on their own. His opinion: I liked this book almost as much as I liked her other books. My favorite one was Shark Attacks. This book taught me that Hurricane Katrina was a very big storm. I liked the book a lot.
