A seemingly normal camping trip goes badly wrong for Jaz and Toni - the river bursts its banks and the girls are trapped in an old house. The water is half way up the stairs and it's rising ... Will they survive?

One of Barrington Stoke's 'solo' series for older, less confidant readers who are ready to tackle a chapter book, Andy Croft's latest title in this range is a fast-paced thriller.

Bored with life on a wet caravanning holiday, Jaz and Toni decide to walk into town along the river bank. Caught in a flash flood caused by a sudden down pour, they not only resourcefully save themselves, but other campers as well.

 Well-illustrated, clearly printed on cream paper, this is an ideal book to engage those for whom reading has previously been an unpleasant chore.
