This graphic novel is about a kid who is stuck with his family in New Orleans when Katrina hit。 The graphics are wonderful and I think it would be a great way for anyone to get an idea of how terrifying it must have been for those stuck below the levees。 Great for ages 8-12， but this much older person thought it was worth reading。
