Dry by Jarrod Shusterman, Neal Shusterman
4.0

After reading Neal Shusterman’s Scythe (and loving it) many suggested I read Dry. They were not wrong. The journey for survival and a hunt for water after Southern California completely, literally runs dry is both a heart pounding adventure and an all too real sounding horror story… especially in light of all the world’s denial of climate change. Shusterman is a bit of a genius at tackling significant contemporary social issues and playing out creative yet realistic scenarios in his storytelling. I’m definitely a fan.
