Saint Louis Armstrong Beach by Brenda Woods
There are three things Saint Louis Armstrong Beach (yes, his real name) loves--1) the neighborhood dog he's adopted and named Shadow, 2) playing his clarinet for the tourists (he's going to Juilliard someday) and 3) the girl next door named MonaLisa, also known as Money. Life is good for a boy growing up in New Orleans during the summer of 2005. But that's before Hurricane Katrina hits in August. . . and Saint realizes that his beloved New Orleans may never be the same.
