Rescued and taken to the Superdome, Reesie must try to find her mom and dad. Fortunately Reesie and Miss Martine have the clear headed help of one their friends and are able to make it to the roof of the house. But there is no waiting out the water when the levy breaks and the Ninth Ward begins to flood. She goes to a neighbor's house to wait out the storm. Her mother, a nurse, and her father, a policeman, are both at work leaving Reesie alone. As the storm draws ever closer, Reesie is increasing danger. But then her parents decide to cancel her birthday party. However, he agrees that maybe Reesie should leave her party with her aunt and uncle for Baton Rouge. Her father doesn't believe in leaving the city due to chances of a little high wind. Reesie is enjoying the days leading up to her 13th birthday, but as the day draws closer her beloved city of New Orleans seems to be under the growing threat of Hurricane Katrina. It is one of several books to come out in the past couple years that tell a similar story, but it is my favorite that I've read so far. Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick tells the story of a girl experiencing and recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
