10 year old author McKenna Andrews wrote this tale at just age 9 and she makes her writing debut with a book so captivating you won t soon forget it. 'Riding The Storm Out' is based on true events, when 8 dolphins were swept from their aquarium and into the gulf when Hurricane Katrina battered the American coastline, this 73 pg, illustrated story looks at a different side of the hurricane. Captive dolphins that have been bred in aquaria don t know how to hunt and could starve to death. McKenna has Noah as a young Dolphin who knows a big storm coming but hasn t been moved like some dolphins to a safer hotel pool. He has heard the word Katrina but doesn t understand it. Soon he is out in the open, and worse still alone. This changes when he meets a wild dolphin called Zack who introduces him to his pod and begins the rudiments of teaching him how to survive until he can be reunited with his pod and rescued.
