Synopsis: 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. 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 doesnt 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, the nighttime threats, and the gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they wont stop until they get it. . . . 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 girls journey in a frontierlike world not so different from our own.
