The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy's life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy's childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy's future is settled already--a house, a man, children, and a water source--and anything more than life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what's killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn's mind, and the prospect of a normal life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epic journey west to face new dangers: hunger, mountains, deserts, betrayal, and the perils of a world so vast that Lucy fears she could be lost forever, only to disappear in a handful of dust. In this companion to Not a Drop to Drink, Mindy McGinnis thrillingly combines the heart-swelling hope of a journey, the challenges of establishing your own place in the world, and the gripping physical danger of nature in a futuristic frontier.

I did not know I could like anything more than the first book, but here we are. This book was so awesome. I loved getting to see more of Lynn and Lucy�s character development was perfect. I definitely recommend this book!

A really strong sequel
This was a fantastic sequel, and I enjoyed it a little more than the first one. The illness spurring a trip out of the comfort of the town they know was interesting and scary. I gagged in real life at a description in the second half of the book, so if you're easily grossed out, definitely be aware it gets pretty disgusting.
