This middle school level adventure-in-the-midst-of-disaster is kept light without feeling too light for the subject matter. It's a suspenseful page turner and a quick read.The boy, Saint Louis Armstrong Beach, is equally devoted to his dog and his clarinet. With his dog nearby, he plays on street corners and saves his money for a new clarinet and his dream education at Julliard.A planner for all contingencies, Saint is ready for the hurricane with a collar and leash for his free-spirited dog. But the dog is not especially cooperative with being protected and lends the suspense to the story. Saint also heroically (realistically) helps some vulnerable adults along the way, while his parents do the same at the hospital where his mom is a dedicated social worker. It's a very vivid depiction of how the community can be the most important means of survival in situations where there is no one else to help.Saint's voice and the dialogue between himself and the people who love him flow off the page like warm butter. Comic moments arise. The characters are well-realized and highly loveable, especially the adult musicians Saint hangs out with.The book did leave me with a question on behalf of young readers. Saint is warned in a dream not to go to the Superdome, the "shelter of last resort" but we never learn from the narrative why that was a bad place to go. Outside the book's bounds, we know from news reports that it was a terrifying place for those who were forced to go, especially for children and that would be a much darker story than this tale, but a brief description of the chaos there would have been nice for educational value and for the sake of that small loose end.My 12 year old son found this book in his school library and he loved it too. Reading is often a chore for him but not so with this book! He says it gave him shivers. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Surprised by foul language *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021* The story was good but I was surprised as my daughter showed me several bad words as she kept finding them. I wish authors of youth books could express emotion without the foul language. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Son Loved It *by L***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017* My 12 year old loved this book. I was very surprised, because he usually reads Percy Jackson-type books--super powered kids saving the world--but he couldn't put this down and he actually talked to me about it afterward. Highly recommend. It's also pretty short, which can be good or bad. My son is a fast reader so he was done with it in a couple of days, so I could count that as a downside in my case, but length is not really something I can objectively grade on, just thought I would mention it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7121509-saint-louis-armstrong-beach](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7121509-saint-louis-armstrong-beach) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
