Dry

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 drought—or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it—has been going on for a while now. 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.

Until the taps run dry.

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.

Fantastic!

I laughed. I cried. The narrators were absolutely wonderful and made the already wonderful story that much better. Kept my attention and had me at the edge of my seat. Highly recommend!

Edge of your seat thrills!!

This was excellently performed and was very captivating. Neal shusterman is an amazing author that knows how to craft a great intricate story. Each voice actor brought the characters to life and made the story even more entertaining!! Will definitely be returning to this story.

Pleasantly surprised.

Enjoyed the story as well as the narration. wasn't what I expected it to be.

Fun listen. Good characters and story.

This is a great listen. Hits close to home as we live in a drought state.

Greater than the sum of it's parts

While not a great story by any measure, filled with trite conventions, serialized improbabilities, and enough Deus ex Machina moments to make the Greek Pantheon jealous... I somehow kept listening. Mostly. Enough to finish it at any rate. So... it's definitely got that going for it
