Ninth Ward

          The book Ninth Ward  is about a 12 year old girl named, Lanesha, she lives the Ninth Ward in New Orlens. She lives with her to her grandmother (because her mother died when she was born) in the poorer part of New Orlens, but the other members of her family live in the nice rich part of New Orleans. She is bullied at school because of her eyes and other features, but she doesn't care. One thing that is special about her is because she can see ghost. When a hurricane comes to New Orleans, Lanesha and her grandmother have to find a way to stay safe.

         The Ninth Ward relates to the real world because it is about a family trying to stay safe during hurricane, Katrina. This book relates to the real world because hurricane Katrina was an acutel hurricane that is still one of the most remembered tropical storms in The United Staes. There were many families that were trying to save their friends and other family from the tropical storm, which Lanesha's family was trying to do. Many families came upon struggles in hurricane Katrina, but they could face them. I am only In the middle of the book where the storm is coming,but I have not heard about any problems or struggles that relate to the storm at this point.

         The Ninth Ward is a great book to pair with the world. It is a great book to pair with the world because it is base a a true event that happend to millions of people. The book defiantly talks about most of th things that all families in New Orleans experience during one of the worst tropical storms Ed it's I. The United States.
