Hurricane Song by Paul Volponi

Posted by bj neary on August 20, 2008 at 2:23am
Wow! Once again, Paul Volponi has written a stunningly awesome book and the horror of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina is all too crushingly real from Miles' point of view. He has only been living with his jazz playing dad for a short time when he, his uncle and his dad take their possessions in a hefty bag and head for the Super Dome. I was afraid of the gangs preying upon the families, so sad for the meaningless deaths of so many and the squalor, and oppressive heat that they had to endure. Once you pick this bbook up you won;t be able to put it down. It is an engrossing read which offers the reader an inside look at the passage of time during one of the low points in our country's history. Reluctant readers, YA and adults are all urged to read this book!
