Everyone knows the story of the Flood, the men God chose to survive, the
animals that went in two by two. But what about the others that sailed
on the Ark - the women and the children? This adventure story asks what
it was really like when the heavens opened and the world drowned - and
what might have happened in the days that followed. wife, Zillah,
concerned for the welfare of the animals; the stowaway boy and baby
found by Noah's daughter Timna; and the animals themselves, continuing
to act as animals do, whatever their surroundings, this is an extremely
compelling and at times very frightening story, beautifully written as
ever by Geraldine McCaughrean.
