Description
For Fig’s dad, hurricane season brings the music.For Fig, hurricane season brings the possibility of disaster. Fig, a sixth grader, loves her dad and the home they share in a beachside town.
She does not love the long months of hurricane season.
Her father, a once-renowned piano player, sometimes goes looking for the music in the middle of a storm.
Hurricane months bring unpredictable good and bad days.
More than anything, Fig wants to see the world through her father’s eyes, so she takes an art class to experience life as an artist does.
Then Fig’s dad shows up at school, confused and looking for her.
Not only does the class not bring Fig closer to understanding him, it brings social services to their door. As the walls start to fall around her, Fig is sure it’s up to her alone to solve her father’s problems and protect her family’s privacy.
But with the help of her best friend, a cute girl at the library, and a surprisingly kind new neighbor, Fig learns she isn’t as alone as she once thought . . . and begins to compose her own definition of family. Nicole Melleby’s Hurricane Season is a radiant and tender novel about taking risks and facing danger, about friendship and art, and about growing up and coming out. And more than anything else, it is a story about love—both its limits and its incredible healing power.
