DRAFT INFO coming for Book 3 – See questions below and let me know if you have ideas!

“What is it like to be caught in a hurricane?”

I will be populating this section as we get closer to 2025. Please let me know if you have ideas or questions about Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf Coast, emergency preparedness, vegetable gardening or raising chickens or insects in Mississippi,  etc.

I’m looking for a reviewer for this book cover. – Let Lisa know if you have someone who knows about hurricanes, seventh grade girls dealing with family relationships, China’s Cultural Revolution, etc.

To Ride a Storm Surge

Surviving this stupid hurricane will be easier than figuring out what grandma wants from me and mom.

I’m Jessie, age 12 going on 30, according to my teachers. So why does grandma blame me for everything? I can’t help being born and ruining the plans she had for her daughter. Maybe I should give up like mom has and disappear on my bike. Then I won’t have to hear grandma’s stories about China… or her noisy chickens.

But there’s a storm called Katrina coming toward Pass Christian, Mississippi. Maybe we should leave and find dad, wherever he’s gone in his 18-wheeler this week.

Who’s in charge around this crazy apartment, anyway? Not me. I’m not in control of anything. I’m just bobbing up and down on the waves.
