Description
Now with a bold new look!
A rushing river with rapidly rising waters threatens the lives—and life savings—of two resourceful kids in this thrilling entry in the middle grade historical fiction Survivors series.
For years, Garret and Molly have dreamed of seeing more of the world than cotton fields and the dusty poverty of their 1920s Mississippi Delta farms. They’ve been stashing away hard-earned pennies and nickels in a tin-can bank, hidden deep in the bayou. Now rising flood waters threaten the hiding place of their money, and they set out on their homemade raft to retrieve it.
But the raging Mississippi River has other plans, and suddenly Garrett and Molly find themselves in a deadly battle with the dangerous currents and roiling rapids of the debris-strewn water—fighting not only for their life savings but for their lives.
