In the near future climate change results in the flooding of the eastern coast of the United States and the result is a disintegration of government and the United States is ruled by violent clans. Nailer, a young teenager, works with a clan who scavenge the abandoned ships for its cooper wire. After a storm he finds a damaged clipper ship and rescues a wealthy girl who was onboard. This decision has repercussions for his clan. A great read lots of action and strong character development. This dystopian novel was the 2011 YALSA Printz award winner.
