Since the world's water supply had turned to poison six months ago, life had changed dramatically for Hurley. Even though he was only fifteen, he was forced to provide for his twin sister Miriam and his little brother Max. Finding safe water was getting harder and harder, and Hurley was getting desperate as he watched the line on the water drum sink a little lower every day.After searching further and further from his home, Hurley is forced to go into the city, a meaner and more dangerous place than his neighborhood in the suburbs. After exploring as much as he dares, Hurley decides to attack a lightly guarded water tower near the edge of the city. With his dad's muscle car, Hurley runs through the gate and past the lone guard, then steals enough water to keep his family safe for a while longer.Even as the extra water is making life seem a little more comfortable, however, a break-in at the house next door forces Hurley to realize that something has to change. Things are getting more dangerous and everyone left in his neighborhood is getting low on water. Together with his friend Rex, Hurley reluctanlty becomes a leader in a war that will decide whether his family, friends and neighbors will live or die of thirst.

William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Life and work: Hudson was born in the borough of Quilmes, now Florencio Varela of the greater Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. He was the son of Daniel Hudson and his wife Catherine née Kemble, United States settlers of English and Irish origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He had a special love of Patagonia. Hudson settled in England during 1874, taking up residence at St Luke's Road in Bayswater. He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888–1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Day (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. It was set in Wiltshire and inspired a later book The Shepherd's Life about a Lake District farmer which was published in 2015. He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Hudson's best known novel is Green Mansions (1904), and his best known non-fiction is Far Away and Long Ago (1918), which was made into a film. Ernest Hemingway famously referred to Hudson's book The Purple Land (1885) in his novel The Sun Also Rises and also referred to Hudson's Far Away and Long Ago in his posthumous novel The Garden of Eden (1986). In Argentina, Hudson is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson, the Spanish version of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him. Towards the end of his life, Hudson moved to Worthing in Sussex, England. His grave is in Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery in Worthing.

Are you a monster? I mean a real-life, fire-breathing, cat eating, disgusting monster? If so, this is the book for you. How do I know? Because, as far as I know, this is the only book actually ever written by a monster, even if that monster is only a kid (me). If you’re a monster like me, you need some help. Not help doing your math homework or picking out what to wear to school, but help not eating the math teacher and finding clothes that still cover your deformed body. You need to figure out how to be a monster trapped inside of a regular kid’s body, how to live a normal life when you’re obviously no longer normal. And you’d better figure it out quick, because the kids at school, nosy relatives, and creepy government agents in black suits are all trying to discover your secrets, and it only gets worse from there. If this all sounds a little too familiar, buy this book and get out of the bookstore before someone notices the tail sticking out of the top of your pants. That never ends well.

Excerpt from The Book of a NaturalistIT is necessary that a book should have a title, and important that this should be descriptive of the book: accordingly, I was pleased with my good fortune and myself when I hit upon one which was not merely descriptive but was attractive as well.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
