It is a very wet and rainy day and Hector and his best friends are having a pleasant time in each others company. After everyone goes home (except Frederica the spider who is sleeping over) Hector settles down to sleep in his favourite chair with the sound of the falling rain in his ears. When he wakes up there is a new sounds all around him, the sound of flowing, rushing, moving water. Poor Hector finds that his lovely home under the ground is flooded and before he has time to do much of everything Hector and Frederica are swept out of Hector's home and into a flooded world.
Everything has changed outside and the lives of many creatures are turned upside down. Hector rescues a baby snapping turtle, finds a boat to travel on, and hopes all the while that his friends are all right. Before long Hector finds his friends and together they travel on Hector's boat trying to find dry land.
Packed with wonderful zoological information about all kinds of creatures, this new Hector adventure takes Hector and the reader on a wonderful journey of adventure and self-discovery. Hector learns that losing his home was not such a tragedy. After all he still has his friends and despite everything, he is in one piece and able to start digging a new wumblebug hole as soon as he finds the right location.

ACTION ALERT!
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) needs your help. The President's proposed fiscal year 2009 budget released in February eliminates the Inexpensive Book Distribution Program, which is the RIF Book Distribution Program. Unless Congress reinstates funding for this program, RIF will be unable to distribute 16 million books annually to the nation's youngest and most at-risk children. RIF serves 4.6 million children. Please click on the link below to visit the RIF Action Alert page so you can make your voice heard and support their efforts.
