What the Back of the Book Says:

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.

My Thoughts: There's not much that I don't like so far about this book! The synopsis sounds pretty awesome - and I've had it on my Goodreads 'To Read' list for awhile - and I think the cover is pretty sweet too! This is also by the same publisher that brought us the amazingess that is Divergent, so I have high hopes for this one. I'm definitely excited to read this one - what do you think?

Happy Reading!
