Now I may have to try some fiction in that same realm.

I remember a friend of my parents (a U.S. senator) telling us that water is going to be the biggest problem for our society. That was about 40 years ago!

But I had a hard time liking the main character, Alyssa; some of her actions and (stupid) decisions really frustrated me.

Apparently, this one doesn't do that.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-90291155990956259422020-07-04T03:51:49.317-07:002020-07-04T03:51:49.317-07:00Neal Shusterman is so good.

In fact, my little area just signed onto a 50 year lease to buy water from the town next door and our water rates are about to skyrocket.
