All her friends are coming to her party, her mama is making a big cake with blue icing and she has a good feeling about a certain wrapped box. Ten years old is a big deal to Armani. It means she's older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans and tears her world apart, Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her family survive this storm. Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere is a story of courage. It is a story of survival. But most importantly, it is about the miraculous power of hope and love in the face of the unthinkable." back of book. Accelerated Reader AR MG 4.7 11.0. 20240716.
