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. <p/>Until the taps run dry. <p/>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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Neal Shusterman, Jarrod Shusterman<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 09/03/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.30h x 5.60w
