Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

While the writing style seems suited to a 5th or 6th grader, the content makes this more suitable for older (or at least more emotionally mature) kids. Lanesha's ability to see ghosts seemed contrived and unnecessary, but otherwise I was enthralled with her. She's a rich character and experiencing Hurricane Katrina with her was intense.
