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 droughtâor the Tap-Out, as everyone calls itâhas been going on for a while now. Everyoneâs lives have become an endless list of donâts: donât water the lawn, donât fill up your pool, donât take long showers.
Until the taps run dry.
Suddenly, Alyssaâs 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 donât return and her lifeâand the life of her brotherâis threatened, Alyssa has to make impossible choices if sheâs going to survive.
