In 1900 Galveston, twelve-year-old Carrie faces a terrifying storm alone with her little brother, Henry. Forced to stay home while her parents attend a party, she must navigate the chaos as the Great Hurricane hits, sweeping their house from its foundation. With rising waters and fear closing in, Carrie must act swiftly to ensure their survival. Can she keep calm and save them both from the deadly storm? Discover the gripping tale of courage and resilience in the face of nature's fury.

From the publisher

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.
