"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."

-Starred review, The Horn Book

"Nelson's strong sense of place, poetic style and inspired characterization make this far more than just an enthralling adventure."

-Pointer, Kirkus Reviews
