On Friday, I’ll be hosting Melanie Crowder debut author of PARCHED (which just received the silver Parent’s Choice Award), so… all this week I’ll be talking about water.
I do not consider Melanie’s book a dystopian or alternative world story because millions of people lack safe water right now.
42 million in Latin America and the Caribbean
355 million in Africa
551 million in South, West, and Central Asia
210 million in Southeast, East Asia and Oceania
See this map. http://water.org/water-crisis/water-facts/water/

Oh my word! What a great blog tour! And you are so right. Lack of clean water is a problem many countries face.
