Today’s media monday choice is 𝘋𝘳𝘺 by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman.

When a drought grips California, daily life becomes restricted. Don’t water the lawn, fill the pool, take long showers...the list goes on. All the rules, also known as the “Tap-Out,” have been going on for a while—but when the water runs out, everything changes.

Alyssa’s quiet suburban neighborhood quickly becomes a warzone as desperate neighbors turn against each other in search of water. When her parents don’t return, it’s up to Alyssa to take care of herself and her brother, and make the toughest decisions of her life. 🚱

This installment of Throwback Thursday is quite a unique little find!

On the backside of our paperback copy of Rebellion By Nora Roberts, a preserved Kmart sticker can be found. From the mailing ads in the back pages, this book likely was circulated and sold in 1999.📖
As of this year there are only three remaining stores in the world. One in Charlotte Amalie, the US Virgin Islands, Tamuning, Guam, and a smaller location in Kendale Lakes, Florida.😢
