Jelly is NOT looking forward to the first school trip at her new school, since her best friend ditched her and is determined to make Jelly miserable. Lincoln however can’t wait – he used to visit the hills with his brothers and he’s excited to be back.
But what neither of them expected was for the extreme weather to cause the reservoirs to burst, and for the area to be flooded. Or to be left behind when the rest of their group is evacuated. As rain pours down and the water rises, Jelly and Lincoln have to put aside their fears to outrun the storm.
A gripping and through-provoking new book from the author of WHERE THE WORLD TURNS WILD, perfect for fans of THE EXPLORER, WILDLANDS, FOXLIGHT and Hannah Gold.
"A gripping, page-turning adventure packed with heart-stopping action and peril. A reminder of the power of nature and the power within us to make a difference."
Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
"Penfold deftly captures both the beauty of nature and its potential for destruction in this heartwarming tale of friendship and bravery, while quietly warning of the realities of climate change."
Joseph Elliott, author of the Shadow Skye series
"Showcases the power and complexity of nature - and of people, too! For all its brevity, this is a novel brimming with peril, thrills and warmth."
Darren Simpson, author of Scavengers
"A gripping, challenging, heart-in-mouth exploration of the power of nature and our own relevant insignificance in the face of disaster - but also, of course, a heart-cry to the best within us, a reminder that we can all help (no matter how little we are), and a deeply moving reminder of what's important."
Sinéad O'Hart, author of The Time Tider
