The Ninth Ward
Author:
Jewell Parker Rhodes
Narrator:
Sisi Aisha Johnson
Acclaimed novelist Jewell Parker Rhodes is an American Book Award winner. Rhodes’ Ninth Ward is a stunning tale set against the horrors of Hurricane Katrina. Orphaned 12-year-old Lanesha lives with Mama Ya-Ya, the midwife who birthed her, in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward. Although Lanesha is different—able to see ghosts like that of her dead mother—she never feels unloved, an empowerment that helps her survive the devastating storm. “If there are awards for books that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit, this one is a clear contender.”—Children’s Literature
