The Water Thief

by Natasha Brown

FBT review:

Step into a post-apocalyptic world with "The Water Thief" by Natasha Brown. In this gripping tale, follow River Quinn, an 18-year-old ratter seeking revenge against the highsider who disrupted her life. This dystopian trilogy, reminiscent of ROBIN HOOD, delves into themes of survival, climate change, and societal inequality. Perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT, this book offers a diverse cast of characters navigating a world shaped by scarcity and privilege. Join River and her friends on a quest to reclaim what's rightfully theirs in a world where water is currency. Explore this riveting YA novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Publisher Description:

Hell hath no fury like a ratter scorned.

In a post-apocalyptic world where purified water means life and rainwater means death, ratters struggle to survive while highsiders live in luxury.

When River Quinn, a fiery eighteen-year-old ratter, is released from a decade-long sentence for stealing water for her dying father, she travels home to reunite with her mother--only to discover her mother is gone, and the very highsider who sent her to the Pen now owns her land. With a ragtag group of friends by her side, River sets out to even the score.

THE WATER THIEF is the first in a dystopian and post-apocalyptic trilogy that boasts diverse characters trying to survive a world devastated by climate change. This ROBIN HOOD retelling addresses our planet's health, the cost of living, and the wealth disparity between classes to give this age-old story a new face. Readers of THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT will appreciate River’s gritty personality and imperfections.
