Honestly i had a hard time getting into this book, first off it took me till about page 30 to figure out our main character was a girl and everything was too fast and they just jump from one place to another without spending any time there or suffering.

Beautiful cover, excellent concept, bad execution. This story had tremendous potential, but absolutely NEVER lived up to it. Characters who were one dimensional and you didn't care for one way or the other. Choppy storytelling that swerved from one crisis to the next with little plausibility. Wo...

The players: Vera, Will and ...

Things have gone really bad in this book. The polar ice has melted and been harvested, dams have ben cut off, and rivers are dry. The world has been through wars and what once was the US is now a couple of smaller countries. Vera and her brothers live in Illionowa. They are normal kids, except for b...

Imagine a world where water is virtually GONE. Drinkable water is controlled by the powerful. The everyday people are left dry and thirsty all the time. They are lucky to get the government-issued desalinated water. This is water that comes from the ocean but is run through a purification process to...
