The Water Wars
By Cameron Stracher
Sourcebooks Fire, 2011. 240 pgs. Young Adult
In a future America, water has become the world's most precious commodity. Vera and her brother Will live in a region of the former U.S. where water is scarce, and their mother is dying from the lack of it. When Kai, a new kid, says he knows where water is, Vera is intrigued, but soon Kai is missing and she and Will set out to find him before it's too late.
The characters in this book aren't developed as well as I would have liked, but it certainly has an interesting plot, with the demand for water a frightening possibility.
