Description
Twelve-year-old Susan was sleeping in the loft of her cabin. Nearby were her younger brother and sister. Her parents and the new baby were asleep downstairs.
Suddenly Susan woke up to find herself flying out of bed. She tried to catch herself, but there was nothing to grab onto. Everything was moving.
Susan slid over the edge of the loft and crashed down to the floor.
As she landed, Susan felt a sudden, sharp pain in her leg. It felt like her leg was on fire!
She cried out with the pain.
The ground shook again as some stones from the fireplace fell down around her. There was dust and soot in the air.
Susan had a broken leg, but everyone was leaving New Madrid. The Mississippi River was rising. It was not afe to stay.
What would Susan and her family do? Did they really have to leave her behind?
