"Rising Water" is about three kids whose names are Tracy, Luke, and Kevin. Although these 3 teenagers are very normal they will experience something different from most other kids. It began one day in the animal shelter during a flooding rainstorm when a lady came to the shelter and asked Luke to take his boat out to her house and feed her dog who was trapped at the house because of the flood and if he did this she would reward him with money for the animal shelter. So out of common courtesy he accepted the offer and all three of them went to her house in the gut-wrenching weather experiencing many fun and different things on the way. After they fed the lady's dog and began their journey back to the non-flooded land. They fortunetally managed to catch 2 burglars in the act of steeling some family's stuff from their house. After trying to stop them Luke was kidnapped and held hostage after being beatin by the burglars. Now its up to Tracy and Kevin to save Luke. But,should Tracy and Kevin leave to go and get help or try and fight the kidnappers/burglars on there own? Read the book and find out what happens in the end.

I really liked this book. It tokk me a while to get into it but once i got to the 3rd chapter i was hooked like i fish! This book will really keep you in suspense through most of it. Let me give you a hint... dont stop reading it after the first couple chapters.. just give it sometime and it gets really good!

Rising Water is about a car thief that isn't the sort of person you'd expect to find helping out an animal shelter. But to make up for his crime, Kevin is sent to help Tracy and her brother, Luke- and none of them knows what to expect. When heavy winter rains cause the town's levee to break, the teenagers are forced to skip orientation and help with the rescue effort. Within moment they're in a powerboat pack with sandwiches and supplies and out on the water. Their mission runs smoothly until armed thieves, caught in the act of stealing from a flood home, kidnapped Luke. In a heartbeat, the rescue effort turns toward Tracy's brother- and unless she and Kevin can band together, there's no way for survival.

This book is fabulos. There are theree teenagers trying ti save the day and trying to succed. They do both. They succed and they save the day. All of the sudden the see two theifs taking an older mans belongings when there was a flood. The flood was in a little town. all of the houses were a mess. They all had ankle deep water in them. You will not want to put this book down you will read page after page and by the time you know it,you are done with the book.

When Kevin steals a car, instead of going to juvenile hall, he gets work in an animal shelter along with two volunteers, Tracy and her brother Luke. Tracy and Kevin clash immediately, and the book alternates between them, showing both points of view.

The whole book except the last chapter takes place on one day, when a huge rainstorm causes a flood. When the owner of one of the houses in the flooded area asks the kids to set up an automatic feeder for her stranded dog, what starts as a simple mission turns into a crazy day-long nightmare.

The three kids set out Luke's boat and end up rescuing a woman's most prized possessions, a fox, and a man stuck in his house. And when they finally get to the first woman's house, they find burglars in it.

There are two stories in this book - how the kids manage to escape the burglars, and how Tracy and Kevin learn more about each other and become - almost friends. A dramatic and scary adventure story, and a friendship story, going on at the same time. This is a great book, and I really enjoyed it.

Rising Water was a really good book!!! I would suggest that you read it and trust me, i know it is a little boring in the beggining but it gets good afterr that!

I Disagree with Baby Blues review because I did not think Rising Water was a great book. I thought it was ok but not great. I thoght it was an ok book because I enjoy books that keep me hanging off the edge of my seat and Rising Water has quite a few dull parts to it. Some parts of it were unesessary

This is a fast pace mystery. This book starts off really slow but as you get into it ,it becomes the most exciting book you have ever read.

The book starts off with this girl named Julie,and this guy named Jake. Julie thinks that Jake will never change. He was sent to the center because he stole a car and it was either charity work or going to jail. Of course he choose that. He starts off being really mean but that is a cover-up for how he really feals about Julie. This all changes when they are sent out in a flood to feed a dog. They go into a house that they thought looked weird to them. When they got inside they discover that a robber is still inside,and Jake gets stuck inside. This hardworking team came together to face alot of problems on this trip. Julie finally relizes that Jake is not that bad.

I would highly recomend this book.

I really don't like this book. I cannot get into it. It's the most boring book on the planet. I highly suggest not to read it. You will be bored to tears. If you are forced to read this book in school like I had to, good luck. I cannot believe people ACTUALLY like this book. Some parts are ok, but nothing that could be described as wonderful! I will have to finish this boring book to see if it is "truly" wonderful. But for now I will go with my current opinions. Good luck to those people who have to read this book. I pity you.
