"Niemand glaubte, dass es so weit kommen würde. Doch als Alyssa an einem heißen Junitag den Wasserhahn aufdreht, passiert nichts. Es kommt nicht ein Tropfen. Auch nicht bei den Nachbarn. In den Nachrichten heißt es nur, die Bewohner Kaliforniens sollen sich gedulden. Aber als das Problem nicht nur mehrere Stunden, sondern Tage bestehen bleibt, geduldet sich niemand mehr. Die Supermärkte und Tankstellen sind auf der Jagd nach Wasser längst leer gekauft, selbst die letzten Eisvorräte sind aufgebraucht. Jetzt geht es ums Überleben. Neal und Jarrod Shusterman zeigen auf beängstigende Weise, wie schnell jegliche Form von Zivilisation auf der Strecke bleibt, wenn Menschen wie du und ich von heute auf morgen gezwungen werden, um den nächsten Schluck Wasser zu kämpfen."

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Multiple narrators and alternating perspectives underscore the volatility of this speculative story about a group of teens who are trying to survive the Tap-Out, a catastrophic water shortage in Southern California. Jenni Barber anchors the cast with her youthful yet determined portrayal of Alyssa, a sensible suburban girl who is the story's moral center. She's joined by Michael Crouch as Henry, a smooth-talking opportunist,Noah Galvin as Kelton, the awkward prepper next door,Candace Thaxton as Jacqui, a street-smart older girl,Kivlighan de Montebello as Garrett, Alyssa's younger brother,and the authors, who offer serious verbal snapshots of the Tap-Out's disturbing effects. The narrators ratchet up their pacing and intensity as the characters face increasingly grueling challenges, turning this survival thriller into a white-knuckle listening experience. R.A.H. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine" Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 27, 2018 In Neal Shusterman ( Thunderhead ) and son Jarrod’s near-future or alternate-present America, a prolonged drought (“the Tap-Out”) results in the sudden curtailment of Southern California’s water supply. When their parents vanish while seeking desalinated water, 16-year-old Alyssa and 10-year-old Garrett embark on a harrowing journey, searching for their parents and fending for themselves as society deteriorates. Along the way, the siblings pick up three teens: their survivalist neighbor Kelton, unpredictable lone wolf Jacqui, and calculating opportunist Henry. This thriller alternates between the teens’ distinct and plausible viewpoints, occasionally supplementing with brief “snapshots” of others (a fleeing family, a news anchor) dealing with the escalating catastrophe. The dynamic core-character relationships are satisfying, and the intersection of their narrative with the snapshots adds depth to briefly glimpsed characters and illuminates the full scale of the disaster. The lack of warning before the long-looming crisis breaks may require some initial suspension of disbelief, but the palpable desperation that pervades the plot as it thunders toward the ending feels true, giving it a chilling air of inevitability. It is also thoroughly effective as a study of how extreme circumstances can bring out people’s capacity for both panic and predation, ingenuity and altruism. Ages 12–up.
