Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

Such an emotional roller coaster of a story. This book is the closet readers will get to living through the travesty of Hurricane Katrina. Lanesha is a fascinating strong character who tugs at the mystical world and makes you believe in ghosts. I shed tears and laughed and helped to break a boat free. I could not put this book down. Would make an interesting 5-6th grade read.
