Description
In a near-future world where water has become scarce and tightly controlled, a desperate search for “dry” survival turns into a high-stakes journey across shifting alliances and dangerous landscapes. As characters navigate rationing, corruption, and the moral cost of staying alive, the story builds toward a tense confrontation with the systems that decide who gets to drink—and who doesn’t. Blending fast-paced suspense with sharp social commentary, the novel explores themes of scarcity, power, resilience, and the thin line between order and cruelty. Neal Shusterman’s distinctive, accessible storytelling and thought-provoking worldbuilding make this a gripping, urgent read that feels uncomfortably plausible.
