Zane has gone to New Orleans to meet his great-grandmother. He picked a bad time to visit New Orleans though. As they evacuate the city, Zane's dog Bandy gets scared and jumps out of the van. Zane chases him back to Trissy's house. From then on he struggles to survive the hurricane itself, the flooding, the disastrous events at the Superdome, looting, and gun crazy guards. Along the way he is rescued by a musician Tru and Malivina. Together they struggle to make sense of the situation and survive the horrors of Hurricane Katrina.
I enjoyed the book quite a bit. It was an honest look at events - not sugarcoated and it was a good length. Even though Katrina happened several years ago now people are still suffering the aftereffects. The book could lead to good discussions.
