Fifteen-year-old Del has one job for the weekend: keep her stepbrother alive until Sunday. Forty dollars to babysit a nine-year-old she barely tolerates while their parents drive three hours away.

Then the river comes up in the night.

By dawn the bridge is gone, the phones are dead, and the water is climbing the stairs - and no one is coming. To reach the only high ground left, Del will have to cross a drowned town in a stolen canoe, with a kid who can't swim and a current that takes everything it touches.

She'd be faster alone. She knows it. And somewhere in the rising water, she stops caring.

High Water is a gripping, big-hearted survival story about the people who run toward the water, the family you don't get to choose, and one girl who decides some things are worth going under for.

Tense but hopeful. Safe for younger readers. First in the Hold Fast series.
