Thirteen-year-old Jose has to take charge when Hurricane Mitch destroys his village while his father and older siblings are doing business in the next town. Great for middle grade readers who like adventure and stories about natural disasters.

A story of the aftermath of a hurricane: Jose lives in Honduras, in a small village where he knows every resident by name, and he plays soccer on the streets with neighboring kids. But when Hurricane Mitch roars through and causes a mudslide to bury his town, he and his family are thrust into a dangerous situation. Half of his family is separated from him and he doesn't even know if they're alive--and there are untold numbers of people buried under mud and debris. How will they survive and can they rescue anyone alive?

I didn't feel the urgency that I expected from the situation the characters were in.
