If you're looking for grit, realism and heart, you found it. Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series I can't say enough good things about the writing, and the characterization. NOT A DROP TO DRINK is an unwavering story with incredible drama, danger, and power. Publishers Weekly A brutally beautiful debut, not to be missed.
Booklist In an understated but gripping debut, McGinnis paints a stark picture of a world not far removed from our own, concentrating on Lynn's gradual emotional growth as contrasted against the physical harshness of her existence. Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Those in search of fierce female survivalist characters need look no further than this. The honest and hopeful ending-while not "happily ever after"-will resonate with readers and leave them asking for more. The complex, authentic characters are neither fully evil nor unbelievably good. Kirkus Reviews The intensity of action moves the story forward, but not at the expense of character development. For more in this gritty world, join Lynn on an epic journey to find home in the companion novel, In a Handful of Dust.Ī high-quality survivalist story for readers who enjoy internal story arcs as well as external dangers. But when strangers appear, the mysterious footprints by the pond, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won't stop until they get it. 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." With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl's journey in a frontierlike world not so different from our own. 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.
