What to expect
When Hurricane Katrina hits the city of New Orleans, Jake and his grandma are stranded in their home. How will they escape the rising floodwaters and avoid the chaos and destruction that follows?
This book is part of the Against The Odds series, a captivating series of fictional - but inspired by true events - Hi-Lo chapter books tailored for striving readers aged 10–14. Each title in this collection unravels the extraordinary experiences of young people overcoming incredible challenges. Whether it’s facing the unknown or triumphing against the odds, these stories are both riveting and inspiring.
The series is carefully written with a focus on morphology, which is hugely important for improving spelling and reading comprehension. Against the Odds: Hurricane Katrina focuses on negative prefixes.
With font specifically selected to reduce visual stress, this book serves as a vital bridge between decodable and mainstream books, empowering all learners to become fluent independent readers.
