Floodline: Surviving the Rising Water (Book Nine of the Survive the Wild series)

The rain won't stop for 72 hours. The river keeps rising. And the road home just vanished under brown water. Nineteen-year-old Ana Delgado is driving her little brother Luis home when a flash flood swallows Route 9. Her car stalls in the rising water — and the siblings must abandon everything, claw their way to high ground, and outthink a river that's eating the valley hour by hour. With the rain hammering down and the water climbing toward their last refuge, Ana has to get every decision right: when to cross, when to wait, and how to make rescuers see them before the floodline reaches their feet. This isn't just a thriller — it's a survival lesson disguised as one. Every technique Ana uses is real: why you never drive through flooded roads, how to cross shallow water on foot, why floodwater can kill you days after the storm, and the three-blast whistle signal that brings rescuers running. Back matter includes "The Real Skills Behind the Story," a plain-English breakdown of every technique, plus a printable Flood Escape Checklist. Fast, tense, and genuinely useful. The water is rising — are you ready?
