Ship Breaker

In the aftermath of a devastating hurricane on America's Gulf Coast, teenage scavenger Nailer works tirelessly to survive by salvaging copper from grounded oil tankers. His life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a beached clipper ship, presenting him with a life-altering choice: to strip the vessel for profit or to save its sole survivor, a wealthy girl who might offer an escape from his grim reality. Award-winning author Paolo Bacigalupi crafts a gripping, fast-paced adventure set in a vividly imagined, uncertain future.
