N2  - "Living with an eccentric little brother can be tough.  Faliing through the ice at a skating party and nearly drowning are grounds for embarrassment.  But having a vision and narrating it to assembled onlookers?  That solidifies your status as an outcast.  

What Ruby Carson saw during that fateful hallucination was her entire hometown - houses and people - floating underwater.  

Then an orange-tipped surveyor stake appears in a field, another in the cemetery.  Soon everyone discovers that a massive dam is being constructed and their homes will eventually be swallowed by rising water.  Suspicions mount, tempers flare, long-simmering secrets are revealed.  As the town prepares for its demise, 14-year-old Ruby watches it all from a front-row seat." [cover]
