In early September 1900, twelve-year-old Carrie of Galveston is looking forward to spending Saturday night at her friend’s house, until her parents are invited to a very important party and she is forced to stay home and take care of her little brother; but a boring chore turns into a nightmare when the storm surge from the Great Hurricane hits and their house is swept off its foundation–and Carrie must think quickly and not panic if she is going to keep herself and her brother alive.
