My third graders started this novel before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Then, 1 week into the book - we evacuated Jefferson parish, and the school was closed for 6 weeks. Upon returning, we questioned wether we should or should not continue with the novel. We decided to continue - and the kids loved it - it was very therapeutic - after surviving Hurricane Katrina - to read about a girl wh survivied the Hurricane of 1893. Very well written - historically correct.

As a parent that likes to know what my children are reading, I read this book. Ms. Smith has done it again! I couldn't put it down! She has a remarkable way of seeing through the eyes of her characters. The history is very accurate, the adventure believable and the examples of every day faith beautiful! Just can't say enough good things about this book! Every mom should take the time to read this series and enjoy a short vacation into childhood!
