Carrie Mac, Unity

Carrie Mac lives on the Sunshine Coast, and Mary bought her truck, with the pink 'unity' sticker on the back, from her. She is a wonderful author. The trilogy called the Droughtlanders is a very good read. As with the Foon set, I read them quickly and couldn't wait to get the next book since we only had the first one in the library until I bought them all. I recommend them to all the students. Again, it is set in a post-apocalyptal land, -the 'droughtland' where water is like gold. The Keylanders have all the stuff and continuously screw over the have-nots using violence to keep the water for themselves. It is the story of a Keyland kid who has a meany for a brother and a creep for a dad. The boy learns that his mom is secretly a Droughtlander infiltrator and soon he follows her out into the badlands where he learns the truth. He finds out he has a sister and more adventure and intrigue ensues. I deeply enjoyed this set, and advertise it to the students as a fun read.
