Anyone heard of Mindy McGinnis? Well she is one of the newest author in 2013. And there's one very interesting book that will be released.
NOT A DROP TO DRINK.
See the summary here:
If she has water, she has life.
Lynn knows every threat to her pond: drought, a snowless
winter, coyotes, and, most importantly, 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. Having a life means
dedicating it to survival, and the constant work of gathering wood and
water. Having a pond requires the fortitude to protect it, something
Mother taught her well during their quiet hours on the rooftop, rifles
in hand.
But wisps of smoke on the horizon mean one thing:
strangers. 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….
With evocative, spare
language and incredible drama, danger, and romance, debut author Mindy
McGinnis depicts one girl’s journey in a barren world not so different
than our own.

It looks awesome. A single dystopian book, it seems. Looks like I will read this new book.
Not A Drop To Drink will be released on September 3, 2013
