Devil Storm
“The great hurricane that devastated Galveston in 1900 is the centerpiece of [this] tightly knit novel. The writing is powerful. A fine work, integrating nature with character.” —Starred review, The Horn Book ”Nelson’s strong sense of place, poetic style and inspired characterization make this far more than just an enthralling adventure.” —Pointer, Kirkus Reviews

Daxon has to read this book for school. I picked it up and am so glad I did. A fictional story of a family that survived the Galveston hurricane of 1900. Great younger version of Isaac's Storm. (but not the same story at all). Not too gruesome, but enough info to help them understand how devastating it was.

Now I really want to go to Galveston to view the historical places mentioned in the book. The beginning of the book was too slow for me and had me wishing the storm parts would hurry up.
