SYLVIA DOE AND THE 100 - YEAR FLOOD

SYLVIA DOE AND THE 100 - YEAR FLOOD by Robert Beatty

SYLVIA DOE is a 13-year-old girl who doesn't remember much about her past. She has very little remembrance of her parents and where she is originally from. Currently, she is a part of the foster care system and any time she is placed, she runs away trying to return to the only home that matters to her, Highland Home for Children. At Highland Home, she has the opportunity to be around and work with the horses that have come to really matter to her.

SYLVIA has just run away again when a horrific storm breaks out. The entire valley where Highland Home is located is flooded and the horses are in serious trouble. Mounting a highly dangerous rescue, SYLVIA attempts to navigate the engorged river that has more than spilled its banks. Just before she enters the water she notices things that are seriously out of place: animals that aren't native to the area or extinct even and glittering gemstones along the bank, but when she saves a boy from the river's current and he thinks he's in a different time, SYLVIA begins to put things together. Deep within the hills where the river originates, the storm has caused a doorway to open up crossing over different time periods.

Ultimately, SYLVIA DOE and the 100-Year Flood is a fun and intriguing read about a girl who learns where she is really from.

HEADS UP- The story is based entirely on climate change and evolution. The massive flood is happening due to the changes the earth is experiencing. Animals that are millions of years old are appearing in the river due to the different doors of time that have opened up as a result of the flooding.
