Hurricane Katrina stories always made me cry, and this one is no different. Barry’s family tried to evacuate but a family emergency caused them to turn back. They weren’t prepared for the storm’s wrath. 

I really liked Barry’s narrative voice and the plot point with the dog. 

There are also facts included in the back that give more context to the storm.
