The Mardi Gras Chase A Louisiana Creole Story
by M.K. Mélange Mardi Gras is more than parades and beads.
It's a promise. When twelve-year-old Gabrielle Boudreaux travels to the Louisiana prairies to visit her family, she expects king cake and celebration-not responsibility. But when a beloved elder falls ill just days before Mardi Gras, Gabrielle is asked to do the unthinkable: help carry forward a centuries-old Creole tradition known as the Courir de Mardi Gras. With only weeks to prepare, Gabrielle must learn sacred songs, sew her own costume, and step into a role few believe she's ready for. As doubts rise, both from within and from the community around her, Gabrielle faces questions bigger than Mardi Gras itself:
