Blurb: 
Sixteen year old Liz Green has enough problems--she hates school, the interference of her nosy neighbor, and being afflicted with schizophrenia which makes her "crazy" if she doesn't take her daily meds. But suddenly, her world is being overwhelmed with rising water. The Gulf of Mexico is rapidly turning into the Sea of Mexico, and everyone in town seems to be packing up and pulling out. Worried about traffic jams on the highways, lack of gas, and limited money, Liz's single mother decides that the only way to save her family is to join forces with the neighbors and build a raft to float away with the flood when it finally reaches their suburban Houston home. With the help of her dentist, a rabbi rescued from a parking garage, and an assortment of other interesting characters, Liz faces her fears and inner demons as the situation grows bleaker and her mind-saving prescription runs low.
