Arlington School District Review of Pararescue Jumpers

This is a graphic novel written about the pararescue jumpers that worked in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. The story gives a timeline of what occurred when the hurricane hit New Orleans. It shows how vital the pararescue jumpers were and how hard they worked. It also gives pictures of what the equipment for pararescue jumpers looks like.

Readers who are interested in this type of story will love having it written in graphic novel form. It is simple and easy to read, yet it is a story that any upper elementary student could enjoy. The drawings are realistic and colorful and will help for understanding just what happened during this time in New Orleans.
