A mesmerizing debut about a girl, a boy, and a dog
struggling to survive in a parched and barren land.
Sarel is a girl with secrets. She knows which tree roots
reach down deep to pools of precious water. But now she must learn how to keep
herself and her dogs alive. Nandi is the leader of those dogs. She knows they
can’t last long without water—and she knows, too, that a boy is coming; a boy
with the water song inside him.
Musa is that boy. His talent for finding water got him
kidnapped by brutal men, yet he's escaped, running away across the thirsty land
that nearly claims his life. And so Sarel, Musa, and the dogs come together in
what might be their last hope of survival.
Sounds fantastic! I've added it to my TBR pile! Congratulations, Melanie!
Thank you, Elizabeth!
