Penguin Random House Children's UK Children of the Dust
Book SynopsisA powerful post-nuclear holocaust novel described by the author as, ''my cry against the monstrous weapons men have made''.Everyone thought, when the alarm bell rang, that it was just another fire practice. But the first bombs had fallen on Hamburg and Leningrad, the headmaster said, and a full-scale nuclear attack was imminent . . .It''s a real-life nightmare. Sarah and her family have to stay cooped up in the tightly-sealed kitchen for days on end, dreading the inevitable radioactive fall-out and the subsequent slow, torturous death, which seems almost preferable to surviving in a grey, dead world, choked by dust.But then, from out of the dust and the ruins and the desolation, comes new life, a new future, and a whole brave new world...

HarperCollins Flood Warning
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Accessible text explains how rain can cause overflow in rivers and lakes and, as a result, flood basements and houses. The text exudes a gentle tone. The abstract style of some illustrations complements the discussion of saturated ground, storm surge, flash floods, and flood plains. A few insets add contrasting information, such as how elephants feel a coming tsunami through their feet. Even the annual floods of the Nile are mentioned, with visual reference to ancient Egyptian art—an indication of the wide range of content included. A flood plan and a list of emergency supplies are great additions." — School Library Journal
