* "An excellent chronicle of the tragedy for a broad audience; children, teens, and adults will all be moved." --Kirkus, starred review * "Lively, dynamic sketching gives the artwork a sense of urgency and immediacy. It is as important to tell the story of a nation's failures as it is to record its triumphs, and this is a crucial contribution." --Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Emotionally resonant, this outstanding title will appeal to graphic novel and nonfiction readers alike." --Booklist, starred review * "This astonishingly powerful look at one of America's worst disasters is a masterful blend of story and art." --School Library Journal, starred review * "If a book's power were measured like a storm's, this would be category five." --Horn Book Magazine, starred review "This book could almost make its point on the powerful illustrations alone, but Brown's precise language secures the historical details in an unforgettable way...'Drowned City' delivers a brave treatment of important and uncomfortable details." --The New York Times Book Review --
