  • FROM THE LIBRARY: Dry by Neal Shusterman is an adventurous story about what would happen if there was no more drinking water.  How long would it take for neighbors to fight over what precious water is left?  How long could you survive?  It was a very exciting story, but also a little scary (because I could totally see how this could become real life).
