Ship Breaker (Ship Breaker, #1)

by Paolo Bacigalupi

In the Gulf Coast region, where grounded oil tankers are being broken down for parts, 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 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...

This book is not for me.
Standard YA dystopian/apocalyptic series.
Nothing really stood out for me.
