Confident in her own abilities, Lynn has no use for the world beyond the nearby fields and forest. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty-or doesn't leave at all.
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. New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant says Not a Drop to Drink is a debut "not to be missed."

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.
