Check out Laura Roach Dragon’s debut young adult novel HURRICANE BOY. This Louisiana author uses fiction to address the difficulties faced by displaced children following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Laura’s personal experience as a therapist working with New Orleans children makes her uniquely qualified to tell this story. It’s a compelling read with believable characters struggling to reunite their family following the storm. On another level, the characters, particularly Hollis Williams, the twelve year old protagonist, must confront their inner conflicts.

This is a young adult novel whose target audience is ages 12-18, but like most YA novels, the appeal crosses into both middle grade and adult.
