I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005 by Lauren Tarshis
4.0
I read this with my 7 year old and we loved it. It was a great introduction to historical fiction. The writer did a good job with teaching about some of the facts with out the sad gory details. You would get little hints of what was happening when it talked about "hearing screaming" or glimpses of things, but that helped show the reality of the situation.
My son loved reading about the main character and his life. Although some of it was a stretch it had to be in order for it to have a happy ending. I was able to have a discussion with my son on how would he have handled some situations. He was intrigued by the facts and wanted a little more history behind the actual event. We are looking forward to reading more of these together.
