Book Description
Afia and Maliq are growing up “six houses down” from each other, back when television consisted of five channels, children played outdoors until the streetlights came on, and neighbors all knew one another. When the story opens, Afia is five, and Maliq is seven. In the years that follow, their friendship grows as they have fun together, look out for each other, and help each other through difficult times. Afia and Malik will discover essential lessons about compassion and forgiveness. Learning what it is to love your neighbor when Afia and her mother welcome the new family on the street and as Maliq’s parents bring twin babies into the world. When Maliq is threatened by his teammates, he proves himself with grace and humor, learning that he doesn’t have to be ashamed of what he does, whether in music, art, sports, or walking home with a friend like Afia. The story closes with the two young people reflecting on all they have shared over the years and on the specialness of their friendship. The author has provided study questions and activities after the opening and closing parts to help young people think about friendship, prayer, and their hopes for the future. “In a book crafted to connect with both the hearts and minds of our young, TimEtta Wilson makes a whimsical, childlike, and very rememberable case for morality, kindness and unselfishness.” ~ Dwight Nelson, Pastor “Each chapter had a positive theme and had me imagining my childhood and teen years. Very Captivating Book!!!” ~Michael Meriweather, counselor “Benjamin’s (8), favorite part of the story is "Maliq's New Watch." He said it taught him that if you lose something you can ask God for help.” ~ Olivia Tate, Mix Media Artist

Pages : 178
Book Description
The date is October 15, 1954. Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth, who lives in the Toronto suburb of Weston, is a typical grade 8 girl. She has a secret crush on a boy in her class and she thinks Elvis Presley is "dreamy." Elizabeth also has a part-time job babysitting an adorable little grade 2 girl named Suzie, and Suzie’s not-so-adorable grade 6 brother, David. Elizabeth’s job is to walk Suzie and David home after school and then stay at their house with them until their mother gets home from work. David resents Elizabeth because he thinks he is too old for a babysitter, and he goes out of his way to make life miserable for her. On this particular evening, however, Elizabeth has more than a badly behaved boy to contend with. It is on this October night that Hurricane Hazel roars down on Toronto, bringing torrential rains that cause extensive flooding. David and Suzie’s house is on Raymore Drive, a street that will be practically wiped out by the floodwaters. David and Suzie’s parents are unable to reach the house, which means the children’s safety on this most deadly of nights is Elizabeth’s responsibility. She finds herself increasingly isolated. They are surrounded by rising water. The electricity goes out. The phone goes dead. Still, Elizabeth is sure they will be safe as long as they remain in the house. But are Elizabeth and the children really as "safe as houses"? Before this terrifying night is over, Elizabeth and David will have to learn to communicate and cooperate if they are to save their own lives and Suzie’s. Their survival in the midst of one of Canada’s worst disasters will depend upon their resourcefulness, maturity and courage.
