Synopsis

Master of middle-grade adventure Roland Smith returns with a second installment in this fast-paced action series.

Chase and his friends Nicole and Rashawn have just survived Hurricane Emily, the storm of the century, but their troubles are just beginning. Though they've made it to the safety of Nicole's family's farm-the winter home of the Rossi Brothers Circus-the floodwaters are rising and they need to reach higher ground. The circus's lions have escaped their cages, and a mean and unpredictable leopard is also on the loose. And then, of course, there's the problem of the wildlife preserve next door! Have Chase and his friends lived through a terrifying night only to face a new danger?

â Stay next to the wall!â Chase shouted. â I'll lead us to the edge of the building, then you can take over.â
â There's a lot of water,â Nicole said.
â I know, but the only higher ground is where your house is . . . or was. What's behind the house?â
â Woods,â Nicole answered. â And a lake.â
â How big is it?â
â Big. But it's never overflowed before, and our family has lived here for seventy years.â
It's flooding now, Chase thought. Big time.
