Synopsis
Perfect for fans of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World! Code Name Flood is the electrifying sequel to The Ark Plan, which School Library Journal praised by saying: “Nonstop action, marauding dinosaurs, and kids on the run: What’s not to like?”
Last week, twelve-year-old Sky found a cryptic message from her dad, who mysteriously fled the safety of their underground compound five years ago. The note said the fate of the world depended on her going topside, to a lost world that’s ruled by dinosaurs.
Today, after a treacherous journey through the wilderness, Sky and her friends have made it to their destination: Lake Michigan. There they discover a hidden underwater lab, and with the help of its scientists, Sky will finally learn the truth about her father’s secret mission.
Tomorrow, it will be up to Sky and her friends to save humanity from the very edge of extinction.
Readers who enjoy middle grade adventures by Brandon Mull and Rick Riordan will love this action-packed story, which takes the premise of Michael Crichton’s bestselling classic to a whole new level, envisioning a postapocalyptic future where cloned dinosaurs have taken over and the world’s only hope is one group of courageous kids.

From the Back Cover
“We can’t just let the world end. We have work to do.”
Five years ago: Sky’s father fled their underground compound to go topside, to a land ruled by dinosaurs. Before leaving, he hid instructions on how to complete his mysterious mission if he were ever to fail.
Last Week: Sky stumbled upon the clues her father had left behind: a memory card, a map pointing to Lake Michigan, and a message telling her the fate of the world depends on getting there. So she and her best friend, Shawn, broke out of North Compound, following in her father’s footsteps.
Today: After narrowly escaping both dinosaurs that want to eat her and marines sent to stop her—and making some unexpected new allies along the way—Sky and her friends have finally made it to Lake Michigan. They discover a secret lab hidden in the water that is home to scientists who have actually been helping the dinosaurs. With their aid, Sky learns the truth about her father’s mission. And that he was right all along . . .
Tomorrow: It will be up to Sky and her friends to save the world from the very people who had sworn to protect it.
Reviews
Gr 4–6—Martin continues to delight both dinosaur lovers and techno geeks with her effectively conceived and well-written tales about a world where a dinosaur-sourced pandemic has ushered in a new era. In this fun and fast-moving sequel to The Ark Plan, the adventure starts with a bang, or rather with a frantic race from enraged dinosaurs, and never stops. Sky and her two companions, Shawn and Todd, are still searching for clues to the mystery of Sky's missing biologist father and his connection to "the Noah," a self-styled savior of the United States who cropped up after the pandemic wiped out much of the country's population. All they have to go on is the map that Sky's father left in his compass and a port plug that they don't have the technology to read. The map leads them to a secret compound. From the deep, plesiosaur-infested waters of Lake Michigan to the remains of the New York City subways, Sky and her companions elude pursuers, both dinosaur and human, in their quest to stop the Noah. Martin doesn't pull her punches, the dinosaurs pack a vicious bite, and the guns shoot real bullets. VERDICT An exciting thriller that will more than satisfy fans of the first title.—Gretchen Crowley, formerly at Alexandria City Public Libraries, VA
