Summary

The terrifying impact of global warming on vulnerable lives is laid bare in this gripping tale of survival from internationally bestselling author Steve Cole. 
Gayla is trapped all alone when floodwater pours into her bedroom in a residential centre for kids with disabilities. 
Junjun’s makeshift shack has been washed away in the flood and he needs to find medicine for his sister, who’s sick after drinking contaminated water. 
At first these two young people seem to have little in common and pity each other, but as the waters continue to rise, they must work together to find a way to survive. 
In this Sunday Times bestselling book, Steve Cole masterfully intertwines the harsh realities of nature and the resilience of young adults. The adventure that unfolds is not only a testament to the human spirit but also a stark reminder of the impact of our actions on the environment. 
For fans of Andy Griffiths (The 78-Storey Treehouse), Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Dav Pilkey (Dog Man), Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus), and Cressida Cowell (Which Way Round the Galaxy).
