The water was still there the biggest flood he had seen in his life. For nine year old Jehan, life in Pakistan is just as it should be. He attends school, plays cricket with his little brother, and fetches water for his family. But when the monsoon unleashes a catastrophic flood, Jehan is swept away from his village and becomes trapped in a tree. Jehan stays alive by rescuing things from the floodwater, but as the days pass with no sign of help, Jehan starts to despair. Will he ever see his family again? Then Jehan rescues a dog, and he is no longer alone. But why does the dog keep swimming away? Where is she going? Eventually, Jehan must follow the lost dog into the floodwater. But will the dog's quest lead them to safety? Or to more danger? Sensitively told, this important story brings home the horrific reality of natural disasters on the lives of children, families, and communities around the world but celebrates the need for hope, kindness, and resilience that these situations inspire in their aftermath. Jehan and the Quest of the Lost Dog by Rosanne Hawke is a moving tale of survival and companionship against the odds.
