Hurricane Season
 Hurricane Season $16.95 Hurricane Season is one of the most captivating books I have had the pleasure to read. Once I started reading I simply could not put it down. From the first page when they catapult you into the seedy world of sunny Key West to the last they keep you guessing! A well written book that is certain to hit the best sellers list. It instantly has made my top five books of all time.  Hurricane Season: A Coach, His Team, and Their Triumph in the Time of Katrina $26.00 The Patriots are a football team that plays for a Christian school John Curtis. Members of the founder's family, his five children and grandchildren make up part of the faculty members at the school. They aren't just a school; they are more like a family. They have taken football members into their homes for extended periods of time. The Patriots have a great team due largely to their head coach J.T. Curtis, son of John Curtis. "Hurricane Season," the story, takes place in August 2005. The Patriots are preparing to play their first pre-season game, which they do, and it's a shut out in their favor. Unfortunately, hurricane Katrina is coming through the state. Katrina will drastically change John Curtis School and students' lives dramatically. Readers glimpse the struggles shared by each family during and after the storm. J.T. is determined to get his football team back together for some normalcy. While many of the players have been relocated, J.T. realizes that getting the guys back on the field will be a big help to them mentally. Neal Thompson has written a very good book that should be read by everyone. A true story, while reading you feel as if you're actually there in New Orleans and very much apart of the school, their family and face all of their triumphs. After finishing "Hurricane Season" I went to the website just to get information on the school and the players.
