Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis

Not a Drop to Drink
By: Mindy McGinnis

When there is no water left on the earth, what would you do? 

This is a story about a girl named Lynn who lives with her mom on the countryside. They’re one of the only average people living who has little access to drinking water.

One night when Lynn and her mom were watching the horizon on the roof of they’re house suddenly a couple coyotes walk by and starting eating they’re last meal, a deer. Lynn’s mom quickly rushes down from the roof and tries chasing away the coyotes. Then all of a sudden the coyotes fight back and injures Lynn’s mom. Lynn rushes towards her and Bam! Lynn shot a coyote. BAM! Another coyote had been shot but only injured. The coyotes run off.

When Lynn’s mom dies from her injuries Lynn has to learn how to survive on her own. Lynn worries now less about the coyotes and more about the strangers the are in search of resources.

Sitting upon the roof of her house rifle in hand Lynn watches smoke in distance rising up in the air. That one means one thing, STRANGERS!
Lynn has what they want food and water and they won’t back down until they get it. 

What will Lynn do next on her intense survival adventure?

Buy the book and find out if you love intense adventure books.

I give this book a 4/5-star rating and recommend this book to grade 6 and up.

    Good hook, I wouldn't want to imagine if there was no water left on earth.
    I wish that the letters weren't so dark.

    You had a great hook.
    I liked how you mentioned where the book took place.
    Next time you write, make sure to read over and check your grammar.

    Star: I really enjoyed the intensity of the review, and the cliff hanger was just great, I want to read more!
    Star: I also extremely love how long it is! I love longer book reviews and how yours pulled me in!
    Wish: I wish you didn't tell us the Lynn's mom dies and I would of also liked if you said if the author has any other books.

    I like the way you described the plot of the book
    I also liked the great hook you wrote
    I wish you could use more punctuation, as it would make it better.
