**EVERYONE'S GOING TO REMEMBER WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THE TAPS WENT DRY.**
The drought--or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it--has been going on for a while now. Everyone's life has 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 war zone of desperation; neighbors and families turning against one another in the hunt for water. When her parents don't return, and she and her brother are threatened, Alyssa has to make impossible choices if she's going to survive.
Critically acclaimed author Neal Shusterman teams up with Jarrod Shusterman in this story of survival, when the California drought escalates to catastrophic proportions.

Lo he leído en nada... ojalá fuese un libro más largo. Shusterman es que nunca decepciona... qué locura.
Es curioso el modo en que las necesidades de tu cuerpo redefinen los parámetros de tu satisfacción.
I drank so much water listening to this! Though they give a hopeful ending, this book feels like a glimpse into a pretty close future that i believe we are as a society are in no way working to avoid. Definitely makes me want to up my own conservation and environmental efforts. Very discussable and would be great paired with lots of nonfiction on the topic. Some hackneyed/out of touch writing (I saw the real him as if he was being unzipped from a zip drive?!?!?!) but the action and pacing made that easier to overlook.
