13yo Nonie lives in the American Museum of Natural History in New York because of the immense hurricane and other intense storms that have swept over the world. When a huge flood hits the museum, Nonie leaves with her sister, 16yo Bix, their father and their family friend Keller. They are heading to their Aunt Clare’s house. On the way, they fight nature as the storms increase in strength, the wild and unknown. They try to stop for rest from the river and shelter from the rain but meet two men that only seem to want to harm them. Father gets shot, Bix also gets shot, and Keller gets pneumonia from jumping into the dirty river to rescue their boat from the strong currents. Will any of them survive?
The story has an interesting premise and dystopian plot. The author made the main characters flawed and relatable. I like that the story was carried on by hope, even when everything seemed lost.
The ethnicity is mixed.
