He has easy access while others must line up to pay exorbitant prices at public water taps, and he feels totally useless. To prove he's more than a spoiled Water Baby, Wyatt wants to win the upcoming Fathom Fall competition and finally make a name for himself. But when he starts seeing Bluddites - the water-guzzling monsters from the game - in real life, Wyatt suspects that the tournament is about more than just prize money. Wyatt wants to win, but as the tournament approaches, he starts to worry: Why won't anyone tell them what's really going on? Why would the game - the military, even - be training kids to hunt monsters for them? And how far is he willing to go to prove himself?"--
