*She finds herself living with her aunt who she has never met before.

*With the help of a former soldier, a reclusive cat, and a boy who smells like fish, Hurricane learns how to use her voice to stand up for herself.
*Her goal is to get home to her older sister and her beloved dog, but it may not be as easy as she thought.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections... *This was an enjoyable and pleasant historical fiction middle-grade story.
*Hurricane was an authentic, thoughtful, and spunky young girl who was enjoyable to read about.
*The supporting cast of characters rounded out the story because they brought such life to the pages.
*As with most young readers, I enjoyed the short chapters which made the 352 pages go by quickly.
*Even though there wasn't a whole lot of "action", the plot moved quickly and kept my interest. Who Should Read It... *I would recommend the novel to readers in grades four, five, and six. The story would also be ideal for students in middle-school. I also think the story would make for a strong class read aloud because there would be so much to discuss. Happy Reading!
