Not A Drop To Drink
Mindy McGinnis
Launch the media gallery 1 player - media #1Teenage 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 doesn't 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, nighttime threats, and gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won't stop until they get it. . . .
This was a fast paced and great read. I really liked that the story happened after the "event" so we see how people are coping with loss of most things we take for granted. I was glad that I had the second one available when I got done!
