A little girl, her sister, their dad and another survivor are trying to make it out of what was New York City before the world was flooded. They are trying to make it to her mother's family farm in upstate New York. Nonie, a little girl, tells the story in a dual timeline of the events leading up to the flood, what happened to their family after the flood, how they survived, up to her current trek across the water. This dystopian book is a prediction of what is to come if we do not get this world right. A story about survival, family, and what it means to survive in the face of extinction. I really enjoyed this book and have recommended to family already. The publication date was early January and have seen it everywhere!
