Fans of classic frontier survival stories, as well as readers of
dystopian literature, will enjoy this futuristic story where water
is worth more than gold. New York Times bestselling author Michael
Grant says Not a Drop to Drink is a debut "not to be missed." With
evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and
romance, Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl's journey in a
frontierlike world not so different from our own.
Teenage Lynn has been taught to defend her pond against every
threat: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and most important,
people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near
the pond leaves thirsty--or doesn't leave at all. Confident in her
own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby
fields and forest. But when strangers appear, the mysterious
footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all
too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won't stop
until they get it. . . .
For more in this gritty world, join Lynn on an epic journey to
find home in the companion novel, In a Handful of Dust.
Fans of classic frontier survival stories, as well as readers of
dystopian literature, will enjoy this futuristic story about an
epic cross-country journey. In a Handful of Dust is set ten years
after the first novel, Not a Drop to Drink, as a dangerous disease
strikes the community where teenage Lucy lives. When her adoptive
mother, Lynn, takes Lucy away from their home and friends in order
to protect her, Lucy struggles to figure out what home means.
During their journey west to find a new life, the two face nature's
challenges, including hunger, mountains, and deserts. New York
Times bestselling author Michael Grant says Not a Drop to Drink is
a debut "not to be missed," and this companion title is full of
Mindy McGinnis's evocative, spare language matched with incredible
drama and danger. In a Handful of Dust is perfect for fans of the
Partials, Enclave, and Legend series.
