Publisher's Summary
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 best-selling 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.
What the critics say
"Multiple narrators and alternating perspectives underscore the volatility of this speculative story... The narrators ratchet up their pacing and intensity as the characters face increasingly grueling challenges, turning this survival thriller into a white-knuckle listening experience." (AudioFile)

OK, could have been great.
I hated Alyssa. She was the worst. She never became endearing. The concept was great, but the execution a bit disappointing.
I really wanted to love this book. I just kind of liked it. Frustrating at times, there was never any relief, which might be the point.
Either way, not the worst but far from the best.

One of the greatest books I have listened to!!
it was a great read and I'm glad I was able to listen on my way to and from work. The story itself had so many great twists and turns and you didn't know what could possibly happen next. I recommend this book to teachers teaching grade 8-12.
