When the California drought escalates to catastrophic
proportions, one teen is forced to make life and death
decisions for her family in this harrowing story of survival
from New York Times bestselling author Neal
Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman.
The drought—or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it—has been
going on for a while now. Everyone’s lives have become an
endless list of don’ts: don’t water the lawn, don’t fill up
your pool, don’t take long showers.
Until the taps run dry.
Suddenly, Alyssa’s quiet suburban street spirals into a
warzone of desperation; neighbors and families turned
against each other on the hunt for water. And when her
parents don’t return and her life—and the life of her
brother—is threatened, Alyssa has to make impossible choices
if she’s going to survive.
