by Paolo Bacigalupi
This is the story of a young boy, Nailer, who is a ship breaker. In the Gulf Coast region of America, grounded ships are stripped of everything of worth. Nailer is part of a light crew, young people that strip ships of copper wiring and anything else that is small and of worth. When a Category Six hurricane hits the region, a clipper ship is grounded. Nailer has to face the choice of dismantling the ship or saving the pretty, rich girl inside that could make his life a whole lot better. There is now a second book, //The Drowned Cities.// -Aidan
