My grandson read this for a school assignment. I read it to have discussion material with him. The story follows two young people whose lives are affected by the scarcity of fresh water in their region. Grandson commented on the alternating first-person composition of the story. This would be a good introduction to a different writing style as well as an expanding world view.
