Zane and the Hurricane: A Story of Katrina by Rodman Philbrick
Zane Dupree is from New Hampshire. His dad was from New Orleans, so his mother wants him to take a trip and get to know his great grandmother, who raised his dad. Zane never really knew his Dad, as his father passed away when he was one.
Zane and his dog, Bandit (Bandy) get to New Orleans to stay with Trissy (his great grandmother). Days after getting there, there is a warning about a hurricane, so Trissy gathers up herself, Zane and Bandy to get on a bus to get out.
While trying to leave, Bandy jumps out a window and Zane gets off the bus to chase the dog. At this point, the hurricane is taking shape and the story starts.
This is a good example of the good and bad in people, and the terrible disaster that struck that area.
