'An adventure quest for older readers. The Watermaker is an exciting adventure quest with elements of chemistry and fantasy woven through it. Set in the not too distant future it follows the adventures of Xave, an irresponsible slacker, his sister Xanthe, a computer geek with more sense than style, studious Koa, who hates breaking rules and gorgeous Lani who usually has her head in the clouds. They must outwit a System which is about to control every aspect of their lives ... and their deaths. And no-one can stop it. Except perhaps the Elementaurs. If they are real. And if they can be found in time. ' (Publisher's blurb)
