Three lucky There’s A Book readers will win a set including one paperback copy of Ship Breaker and one hardcover copy of The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi! Wondering what this fantastic series is all about? Take a look at the synopsis for Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi:

A gritty, high-stakes adventure set in a futuristic world where oil is scarce, but loyalty is scarcer.

In America’s Gulf Coast region, grounded oil tankers are being broken down for parts by crews of young people. Nailer, a teenage boy, works the light crew, scavenging for copper wiring just to make quota-and hopefully live to see another day. But when, by luck or by chance, he discovers an exquisite clipper ship beached during a recent hurricane, Nailer faces the most important decision of his life: 

Strip the ship for all it’s worth or rescue its lone survivor, a beautiful and wealthy girl who could lead him to a better life….

In this powerful novel, Paolo Bacigalupi delivers a thrilling, fast-paced adventure set in a vivid and raw, uncertain future.

Not only is this series receiving rave reviews but the first book in the series has won numerous awards including a Cybils Award and the Printz Award in 2011! This is absolutely a series you are going to want to read immediately!
