Leslie, Lawrence J.
Afloat on the Flood
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Afloat on the Flood" by Lawrence J. Leslie is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the fictional town of Carson, where a group of friends faces the dire consequences of an overflowing river during a spring storm. The narrative follows characters named Max, Steve, Bandy-legs, and Toby as they respond to the flooding by helping those in need, and it captures themes of heroism, friendship, and adventure. The opening of the book introduces a tense atmosphere as the boys learn about the Evergreen River's unprecedented flood levels and the panic it has caused within their community. The boys quickly decide to lend a helping hand, moving a widow's belongings to safety as the water rises around them. They encounter several challenges, including dealing with local bullies at a candy store and managing the precarious bridge under which they ultimately find themselves when it collapses. Their story promises to be filled with perilous adventures that test their bravery and camaraderie amidst the chaos of natural disaster. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
