Last Bus Out by Beck McDowell

Last Bus Out is the true story of Courtney Miles, a boy who stole a bus and rescued over 300 people from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. While government officials posed for cameras, Courtney stepped up and showed what “drive” is all about. Even though he had no driver’s license and very little driving experience, he risked arrest and imprisonment to save his neighbors. Despite raising himself while his mother was in jail, Courtney stayed out of trouble and is now playing basketball on scholarship at a college in California.
