Devil Storm
Written by: Theresa Nelson
"This novel describes the Galveston hurricane of 1900 which killed more than 6,000 people. Thirteen-year-old Walter Carroll wonders if the house in which he lives on Bolivar Peninsula, across from Galveston, is safe as the storm increases in intensity. His mother wants to stay, but Walter wonders if defying his mother and fleeing is the
wiser choice."
