Devil Storm

By Theresa Nelson

“The great hurricane that devastated Galveston in 1900 is the centerpiece of [this] tightly knit novel. The writing is powerful. A fine work, integrating nature with character.” —The Horn Book, starred review
 
“Nelson’s strong sense of place, poetic style and inspired characterization make this far more than just an enthralling adventure.” —Kirkus Reviews
