OLDER FICTION
(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Sebah, a Canaanite girl, survives a massive flood that kills her family. As the rains continue, she encounters a giant boat--Noah's ark. Exhausted and grief-stricken, Sebah finds herself in a cage with a pair of bonobos, with whom she soon bonds. The characters that Napoli creates to flesh out her retelling of the classic story add depth.
