Evyn Linney lives with her father, Birdie, and her older brother, Mackey, in Maine. One day, on Evyn's birthday in fact, Birdie announces that he is getting married to this woman that Evyn and Mackey barely know. Mackey isn't exactly happy with it, but he's not complaining. On the other hand, Evyn is not happy about this at all. She learns that she must leave her friends and the place she has lived her whole life, to move to Boston so they can live with her father's new wife and her six kids. Yes, //six// kids. Evyn is not thrilled about this either. So, Evyn, Birdie, and Mackey move to Boston to start their new life. While in Boston, Evyn faces a bunch of new problems: moving into a house with people you don't know and can't stand; going to an all girl school; her father and her brother are changing fom their old ways while Evyn is not; and her best friend in Maine is also changing. Evyn already had to live without a mother and now all this is happening and let me tell you, it isn't easy... ======

I saw this book and it sounded interesting, so I decided to read it. It ended up being a great book. I enjoyed reading this book and about the problems Evyn faced. It was interesting. I suggest this to girls my age because, well, it deals with a girl around my age, so it could relate to you and I'm not sure too many boys would read this book, but hey, if you're a guy and you want to read it, go ahead! Natasha is a great author and has had other books published, including: __Lush__ and  __Perfect__. ======

sushimi- sounds like a good book. the plot seems similar to another book I know but that doesn't really matter. after all, eragon is almost __identicle__ to star wars
cottenb: sounds like a really interesting book. It sounds like one of those books you can't stop reading once you pick it up.

 ====**In late August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed many homes, offices, family memories, and many people were killed or injured. It was a devastating time in the United States, well mainly the Gulf Coast states.** ==== ====Hurricane Katrina was formed in the Bahamas on August 23, 2005. Katrina moved northwest then west through the Bahamas. As this was happening, Katrina was getting stronger and just before hitting Florida, became a category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. On August 25, the hurricane landed in Flordia between Hallandale Beach and North Miami Beach. In Florida, Katrina's winds were at around 80mph. Hurricane Katrina moved southwest and soon landed in the Gulf of Mexico. While in the Gulf, Katrina moved west. There was a high pressure area over Texas that had become weaker and started moving west. This allowed Hurricane Katrina to move northwest and then north into the weakness of the ridge during the next few days. The sea-surface conditions caused Katrina's cyclone to intensify and lead Katrina to be a major hurricane on August 26th. During the next 2 days, Hurricane Katrina became stronger and moved even more north. Katrina's windspeeds reached 170mph on the morning of the 28th which is the windspeeds of a category 5 hurricane. Hurricane Katrina stayed a category 4 hurricane even with the dryer air. On August 29th, Katrina hit the Gulf states with windspeeds of 125mph (category 3). The rain was falling at about 1 inch per hour over most of the coast. ==== ====A lot of people's lives were lost during Hurricane Katrina. Flood waters covered about 80% of New Orleans on the 31st of August and some parts under 20 feet of water. The cost for the damages Hurricane Katrina caused is over about $100 billion. This was one of the most appalling storms in the U.S. ====

        These following pictures show areas in September 1998, before Katrina hit (top half of the pictures), and they show the same area on August 31, 2005, 2 days after Katrina hit (bottom half of the pictures). = =
