Will Sally and her family ever be able to go home? When heavy rains
cause the river to flood, Sally, her family, and many of their
neighbors have to evacuate their homes. With nothing but the
clothes on their backs, they seek shelter at the local school. At
first, it seems like an adventure, but as reports come in of whole
houses being washed away, Sally learns the meaning of being a true
friend and a good neighbor. Flood Friday is based on the actual
flooding of western Connecticut in 1955. " A] readable and
attractive book that will surely appeal." -Library Journal Born in
Springfield, Ohio, in 1893, Lois Lenski achieved acclaim as both an
author and illustrator of children's literature. For her Regional
America series, Lenski traveled to each of the places that became a
subject of one of her books. She did meticulous research and spoke
with children and adults in the various regions to create stories
depicting the lives of the inhabitants of those areas. Her novel of
Florida farm life, Strawberry Girl, won the Newbery Award in 1946.
She also received a Newbery Honor in 1942 for Indian Captive, a
fictionalized account of the life of Mary Jemison. Lenski died in
1974.
