Great story about a senior in high school during a hurricane, all told with a wonderful voice. Very charming without being sweet and not at all cruel.

And the best description of life during/after a hurricane - I was in NC for Hurricane Hugo, which unexpectedly raged inland and still remember the twisted roots of fallen (and very massive) oak tree in our backyard and his descriptions ring true. Definitely recommend it.
