Teen Reads

Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis

Lynn has been taught to defend her pond against every threat: drought, a snowless winter, coyotes, and, most important, people looking for a drink. She makes sure anyone who comes near the pond leaves thirsty or doesn’t leave at all. But when strangers appear, the mysterious footprints by the pond, the nighttime threats, and the gunshots make it all too clear Lynn has exactly what they want, and they won’t stop until they get it.

Read the book and join us for the Teen Contemporary book club on Thursday, July 30th at 3 pm.
