"Mindy McGinnis's rendering of the barren, arid land in NOT A DROP
TO DRINK is textured and thoughtful, and at times just as hardened
as the characters who populate it. I can't say enough good things
about the writing, and the characterization. If you're looking for
grit, realism and heart, you found it." - Kendare Blake, author of
Anna Dressed in Blood
"Deftly written, Mindy McGinnis's NOT A DROP TO DRINK is a
frightening picture of a potential future without fresh water,
which left me ridiculously grateful for my working faucet. This
post-apocalyptic survival tale is about so much more than just
survival. I loved it." - Jodi Meadows, author of the Incarnate
trilogy
"Set against the grim backdrop of an all-too-possible future,
McGinnis's very fine coming of age novel doesn't stint on lifes
hard lessons--or its triumphs. Lynn's story is what Laura Ingalls
Wilder might've penned if she'd traveled a frontier imagined by
Cormac McCarthy." - Ilsa Bick, award-winning author of the Ashes
trilogy and THE SIN-EATER'S CONFESSION
"Those in search of fierce female survivalist characters need look
no further than this." - Booklist
Tension's maintained by constant, subtle foreshadowing (rather than
transparent cliffhangers), and the characters rarely feel safe
enough for readers to relax. Hard to put down. - Kirkus Reviews
A very satisfying journey, by turns philosophical and riveting. -
Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
PRAISE FOR NOT A DROP TO DRINK: "A high-quality survivalist story
for readers who enjoy internal story arcs as well as external
dangers." - Kirkus Reviews
"The intensity of action moves the story forward, but not at the
expense of character development. The complex, authentic characters
are neither fully evil nor unbelievably good. The honest and
hopeful ending--while not "happily ever after"--will resonate with
readers and leave them asking for more." - Voice of Youth Advocates
(VOYA)
"In an understated but gripping debut, McGinnis paints a stark
picture of a world not far removed from our own, concentrating on
Lynn's gradual emotional growth as contrasted against the physical
harshness of her existence." - Publishers Weekly
"A brutally beautiful debut, not to be missed. NOT A DROP TO DRINK
is an unwavering story with incredible drama, danger, and power.
This writer is for real." - Michael Grant, New York Times
bestselling author of the Gone series
