Flash Flood by Chris Ryan (NH)

Thirteen year old Ben is on a trip to London to see his eco mad mum,Bel. He is meant to be meeting her at Kings cross station but Bel is held up at a conference with the prime minister of Canada. So her friend Cally who works for a company called ARBON CO looks after him. Meanwhile a cargo boat crashes into the Thames barrier causing water to flood through the city. When it hits the ARBON CO factory, Ben has to be evacuated into a small inflatable boat with four other people which is put into the flood. But Ben falls out of the boat and is left in a middle of a extremely dangerous flood. Will Ben ever see his Mum again and more importantly, will he get out of London alive! 9/10
