About this listen

Fans of classic frontier survival stories, as well as readers of dystopian literature, will enjoy this futuristic story where water is worth more than gold. New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant says Not a Drop to Drink is a debut "not to be missed." With evocative, spare language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, Mindy McGinnis depicts one girl's journey in a frontierlike world not so different from our own.

Teenage 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. . . .

For more in this gritty world, join Lynn on an epic journey to find home in the companion novel, In a Handful of Dust.

This is my favorite post apocalypse book. For years I had nightmares inspired by Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Miss McGinnis deals with a similarly brutal world but from a uniquely feminine and maternal view point. I would wake at night terrified by McCarthy inspired visions, grab my tablet and fill my head with Mindi's vision instead. It took a couple of years but I no longer suffer apocalyptic nightmares, and I still revisit this book for the beauty and strength in the story, (can't say that about The Road). I am delighted to add this audio book to my library for long commutes and late night listening when I'm too tired to read. This book/audio book is for lovers of kickass heroines.
