Young Adult Science Fiction
Welcome to a future where water is more precious
than gold or oil-and worth killing for Vera and
her brother Will live in the shadow of the Great Panic, in a
country that has collapsed from environmental catastrophe.
Water is hoarded by governments, rivers are dammed, and
clouds are sucked from the sky. But then Vera befriends Kai,
who seems to have limitless access to fresh water. When Kai
suddenly disappears, Vera and Will set off on a dangerous
journey in search of him-pursued by pirates, a paramilitary
group, and greedy corporations. Timely and eerily familiar,
acclaimed author Cameron Stracher makes a stunning YA debut
that's impossible to forget. "Let us pray that the world
which Cameron Stracher has invented in The Water Wars
is testament solely to his pure, wild, and brilliant
imagination, and not his ability to see the future. I was
parched just reading it."-Laurie David, academy award
winning producer of An Inconvenient Truth, and author
of The Down to Earth Guide to Global Warming
