Ratings, Recomendation, and Opinion of the Book

Ratings, Recomendation, and Opinion of the Book

My opinion is the book was really good, but it breaks my heart that so many people died in this terrible disaster.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the I Survived books and a happy ending.

I would rate this book a 8/10 because it was action-packed and interesting. I also learned about the history of Hurricane Katrina.

Summaries

Barry is with his friend, Jay and they hear a storm is coming. His mom prepares to go to their cousins in Texas. But, on the way there, Cleo (Barrys little sister) gets sick and there is too much traffic, so they go home.

When they got settled back home Barrys, mom and sister went to bed, Barry and his dad stay up to ''fight'' the hurricane. But, after a while Barry falls asleep and when he wakes up it is 6:00 am, and he hears a loud crash; he when goes downstair and sees his dad. Then, the door flys wide open and water floods the house!

End

When they get on the roof, Barry slips off into the water. He floats around and finds himself at his old best friends house (Cruz). Cruz's dog is stuck in the house and Barry finds a way to get the dog out safe. The water is rising and Barry needs to find his family. Barry climbs on the roof and a boat is coming to save him along with the dog. Her name was Neil, she takes Barry to safety and then his family comes, but many people said the Tuckers (Barry's family) were lucky to reunite. After, they go to New York and start a new life with his father having a new job.
