Reviews

[EmmaB · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of a few books I got from the Scholastic warehouse, this provided information about the storm itself, three people who lived through it (and tried to help) (and one who was a tragic victim of the government's poor response), information about books on the topic (and these men), fact sheets about two of the authors whose work is highlighted, and further information.
Reading Zeitoun by Mr. Eggers will be in my future, I think.
