Only He Can Bring What They Needed to Survive.
In 2250, water is scarce, and those who control it control everything. And they’ll do anything to maintain their power – deceiving, dividing families, banning love ... even killing those who oppose them. But above all, they seek to control knowledge and communication – ensuring the truth that will bring their downfall will never be known. But one person verges on discovering it all. Sixteen-year-old Luca becomes the Deliverer, the only one allowed to contact the people called ‘Water Rats,’ who mine the essential water deep underground and bring it to the ‘Toppers’ who desperately need it above. But when he meets a Water Rat who captures his heart and leads him to secrets – secrets about a vast conspiracy, and about himself – the net around him tightens. Luca and those around him must uncover and share the truth needed to overthrow tyranny – even as they fight for their lives.

I absolutely loved this book! Aquifer by Jonathan Friesen was just what
my summer needed. An engaging read that had me turning the pages faster and
faster, wondering what was going to happen next. The characters felt real and the futuristic
setting was something I could believe. Aquifer is the second book I’ve read by
Jonathan Friesen and has only endeared me to his writing more. I look forward
to seeing what he comes up with next.
5 out of 5. This
Afternoon Snack will keep me satisfied for a while.
