 Awesome full-color nonfiction graphic novel for teens about Hurricane Katrina and its devastating effects on New Orleans. Manages to be honest without finger-pointing. Provides a balanced picture of the heroics and the tragedy. Just the right amount of text; it feels complete without being overwhelming. The art really complements, and adds to, the text to form a complete picture of the natural disaster and its consequences on those who were not able to flee the city in time. Perfect for reluctant readers, but will be enjoyed by all who pick it up. A stellar example of graphic nonfiction.
