About this item

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 .
