This book is set during Hurricane Katrina. 12 year old Lanesha is an orphan who has been taken in by an old lady everyone calls Mama Ya-Ya. She and Mama Ya-Ya share a special bond because they both can see ghosts. This book becomes an adventure story about the survival of Lanesha and a friend during Hurricane Katrina. I listened to this story on CD which made the characters come more alive in my mind.
If you haven't tried listening to a book on CD or one of our Play Aways, you are missing a great way to read a book.
