Flood Warning by Jacqueline Pearce

I don't know, Peggy said. She pointed to a spot where a section of sandbags had fallen over and left a gap. Those sandbags don't look like they could stop much. She glanced up at the sun, which was getting lower in the sky. I've got to get home to help with milking, she said. Me too, said Tom. There was never a holiday from milking. Reluctantly, Tom turned away from the widening brown river. If there were a flood, what would the Lone Ranger do? Tom loves running through cow fields with his best friend, Peggy, and his dog, Amos-especially when he's pretending to be his favorite radio hero, the Lone Ranger. But when Tom learns the nearby Fraser River is about to flood, he may have to become a real-life hero and help save his family's herd of dairy cows. This story is based on real events that happened in the farming community of Agassiz during the Fraser River flood of 1948.
