(4) 4-6 In the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch, thirteen-year-old José must quell his fears as he leads his family and small Honduran village in rescue and recovery. Trueman realistically presents his protagonist's anxieties and concerns in the face of disaster. A happy ending for José and his family is never in doubt, though, which dilutes the story's impact.
