H2O
Virginia Bergin
(Author)
Description
In the first book in a terrifying post-apocalyptic duology, it's in the rain...and just one drop will kill you. Perfect for fans of dystopian books!
.27 is a number Ruby hates. It's a number that marks the percentage of the population that has survived. It's a number that means she's one of the "lucky" few still standing. And it's a number that says her father is probably dead.
Against all odds, Ruby has survived the catastrophic onset of the killer rain. Two weeks after the radio started broadcasting the warning, "It's in the rain. It's fatal and there's no cure," the drinkable water is running out. Ruby's left with two options: persevere on her own or embark on a treacherous journey across the country to find her father--if he's even still alive.
Don't miss the breathless conclusion to the H2O duology, The Storm.
Perfect for those looking for:
- Post-apocalyptic survival fiction
- Intriguing and unique takes on a bestselling genre
- Young adult dystopian fiction
- A strong female narrative

Reviews
"This entry in the teen dystopian genre brings life and humor to an otherwise dark situation... a great, high-interest read for contemporary teens." - VOYA
"The diary-style narration emphasizes Ruby's distinctly teenage response to society's end and her strong, spontaneous voice lends a touch of dark comedy to the post-apocalyptic doom and gloom... watching Ruby draw strength from her ability to tell her own story is as inspiring as it is harrowing" - The Horn Book Magazine
"Attention to detail, coupled with a very strong main character, will draw readers in and make them think twice about leaving the house-at least not before checking the sky for signs of rain." - School Library Journal
