Hear it
By Geraldine McCaughrean
Publisher HarperCollins Publishers - (HarperTeen)
Not the End of the World
Preview: Hear it

What was it really like when the heavens opened and the world drowned? Everyone knows the story of the Flood The man called on by God to build an ark. The animals that came on board two by two. The rain that fell for forty days and forty nights. But what about the rest of the story? What about Noahs wife and daughtersinlaw? And what if there was a daughter as well? How would it feel to head into the unknown, with only each other and all those animals? What would it be like to turn away friends and neighbors struggling in the water? Could all of it really be part of Gods Plan the hunger and pain and fear? Carnegie Medalist Geraldine McCaughrean transforms the familiar story into a provocative new tale that is told through the voices of Noahs family, and even the animals. At the heart is a daughter who questions her father when no one else will.
