Peter, also grappling with ADHD as well as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, mirrors Zack’s own troubled past. In Gabrielle Prendergast’s book for young adults, Flash Flood (Orca $10.95), due out in August, Zack must navigate the dangerous situation while keeping Peter safe as the floodwaters rise and the town evacuates. They face a critical decision: wait out the flood or attempt a risky escape. Will Zack’s leadership and resilience be enough to protect them both? 9781459838215
