It's a flashlight and a camera, and when she can't sleep, she can comfort herself in the cold desert by looking at pictures of her mother and father, and by reading their old text messages to one another.She's doing well enough, for a teenager on her own in a ravaged world.Until the phone rings.The Phone is author W.J. Orion's first young adult science fiction novel. First in a planned trilogy of Dry Earth books, it's suitable for teenagers and adults alike.
