Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker RhodesI just completed Jewell Parker Rhodes' latest book--her first written for youngpeople. Its Title--Ninth Ward. Its Setting--New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.Its focus--Lanesha, a twelve year old born with a caul covering her head andface, who is connected to the spiritual world and her Mama Ya Ya. Through achild's eyes we watch a neighborhood in the Ninth Ward of New Orleansexperience the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, the surge of the Mississippi River asthe levees give way, the destruction of a rich vibrant community made up ofpeople who have so little, but share what they have with each other. This is astory of love, courage and strength as the ancestors encourage two youngchildren to have faith in themselves if they want to survive. Jewell ParkerRhodes says that she wanted to grow up enough to write her first book for youngpeople--she has more than made up for making us wait so long by penning thismagnificent story for youngsters and oldsters, one that I will share with many. AMUST READ.
See above for full synopsis. Lanesha is a 12 year-old girl raised by the mid-wife who helped birth her as her mom died shortly after she was born. The first part of the book describes the love and affection between Mama Ya-Ya and and lets us know that between Mama Ya-Ya's educating Lanesha and school Lanesha is a very smart girl. Lanesha sees ghosts (including her mother) and Mama Ya-Ya sees and feels things gives the book a sort of mystical quality. The rest of the book deals with getting prepared for Hurricane Katrina and how Lanesha manages to survive the horrific storm.If I was in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina I would have liked to be with Lanesha. She draws on everything she has learned from math to physics to cooking. Her love for Mama Ya-Ya and her feelings for her friend TaShon and their dog Spot would make anyone want to be on her team. The images of the New Orleans destruction are vivid and heart wrenching but still this book is a wonderful book for youngsters. Lanesha is a strong female character and I for one would love to hear more of her story.Recommended for strong 3rd grade readers and above.
This was a phenomenal book. I read it to my 9 & 6 year old. We laughed and we cried, all while being overcome with joy and sadness. I won't ruin it, but we look forward to seeing what else this author has to offer. It's great for children of all ages. We talked about hurricane Katrina before we started the book so that the kids would have an understanding of the authors point of view. It was definitely worth the money. The fast shipping was a plus. Would put 10 stars if I could.
Ninth Ward was just okay to me. Yes, it was dramatic and a scary retelling of Hurricane Katrina told by a young girl, but that's all it was to me. I couldn't find myself really getting into the story or relating to the characters. The writing isn't horrible, but it is very young so prepare yourself for that. Or use it for an appropriate age.I had to read this for school and that's all it was to me unfortunately.
Ninth Ward is a wonderful story of surviving Hurricane Katrina. Lanesha has spent every day of her twelve years in her very nurturing close knit neighborhood of New Orleans' ninth ward. Her wise elderly foster mother has taught her the traditions, beliefs and superstitions of her African and French ancestors. These teachings are what give Lanesha the strength to save herself, her best friend and their dog after the flood wipes out the neighborhood. This is a story of faith, love and determination. It will be on all of the best books lists for sure.
As a mother and highly Spiritual BEING I am truly touched and strengthened by the Courage, Love and Wisdom of the characters. The determination and Will to Live. The present moment vividness of the story, captured my attention and expanded my heart. I could visually see Lanesha and TaShon, Mamma Ya Ya and the Ghosts. In fact the story is written so well I felt like I was right there in the story with the characters. I purchased this book for my daughter a few months ago and I don't believe she's read it yet. She's 7. Recently I was using her kindle for a meditation and I stumbled upon a book suggestion that seemed an interesting read. I tried purchasing the book but was unable to complete the purchase because of poor Internet connection. When I hit the back button it brought up a list of books in her library. This one caught my eye and I decided to skim through the book to see what the storyline was about. What was suppose to be me reading a few pages turned into me being fully engaged and motivated to read for the next discovery. I finished the book in 2 days and was immediately intrigued with the vocabulary and mathematical lessons presented on top of the other lessons of unity, endurance, strength, openness, wit, spirituality, Love, and Faith!So again, Thank You Dear Soul for your gift of word and creativity. Continued Blessings of SuccessBE...WellOmena El Proud Mamma to Azza Bee
