Synopsis from Author Website
Sixteen-year-old Ren is a daredevil mobile racer who will risk everything to survive in the Ward, what remains of a water-logged Manhattan. To save her sister, who is suffering from a deadly illness thought to be caused by years of pollution, Ren accepts a secret mission from the government: to search for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a cure.
However, she never expects that her search will lead to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist; a web of deceit and lies; and an earth-shattering mystery that’s lurking deep beneath the water’s rippling surface.
Jordana Frankel’s ambitious debut novel and the first in a two-book series, The Ward is arresting, cinematic, and thrilling—perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld or Ann Aguirre.
What is your WoW pick of the week?
When I first saw this cover I was totally like "This is my book!" After reading the synopsis I'm not so sure, but I love the cover so much that I know I must read it.
I love the cover and I am intrigued with any story in a water-logged Manhattan so I am definitely on board! Definitely try it when it comes out and see how you like it.
This one looks SO awesome. I cannot wait for it.
