Catastrophe engulfed the world when a nuclear explosion melted the ice caps, causing sea levels to rise and submerge entire continents. The low-lying areas of Britain were submerged fathoms deep under sullen floodwaters. Noelle King fled her school and headed home to the fairground her father owned, hoping to find her parents, but instead found a family of strangers living in their caravan. They stole her boat, but luckily in the fairgrounds there was an ark displayed as part of the attractions. Thinking it fake and unable to safely float, no one had stolen it, but Noelle knew her father had built it around an old naval landing craft, complete with engine. Travelling with fellow survivors Phil and his Grandpa, Noelle set out for Scotland, hoping her parents had headed there to higher ground and safety. |
