About this listen
Hurricane is quiet while her Aunt Claire is a force of nature with very particular ideas—and a host of Latin sayings to back them up. When Hurricane gets stuck living with her, she retreats into herself...until a series of unexpected friends, including a mangy cat, help her find her voice in a whole new way.
A recipe for The World’s Most Comforting, Twelve-Layer Honeycake:
1 quiet girl named Hurricane, who runs like the wind along the Mighty Atlantic with her old dog Brody-Bear.
1 imperious aunt, who steps up when Hurricane’s world turns upside down.
1 kind-hearted boy, who helps wounded animals (and may smell a little of fish)
1 lonely and flea-bitten cat with a ragged ear and a crooked tail.
1 gentle chauffeur, who knows exactly what to say…and when not to say a thing.
Mix them all together in big, fancy house in the city. What you get might surprise you.

★ "Hurricane employs stunningly beautiful, highly descriptive language to narrate her own tale with a depth of feeling and growing awareness of her attributes and true strength of character....Powerful, emotional, and wondrous." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"This swiftly paced novel is filled with strong life lessons about embracing change, using writing as a coping mechanism, and learning how to find one’s voice. Short chapters and frank text entreat to young readers and challenges them to forge their own paths." —Publishers Weekly
