Bacigalupi, Paolo. SHIP BREAKER
In a future world, we meet Nailer. Nailer works as a ship breaker. These are teens who take recycling to the ultimate. He lives in a world where fossil fuels have been used up, the oceans have ravaged cities on the coast and the world has been divided by the haves and have notes. Many ships have been wrecked off the Gulf Coast and Nailer's crew takes on the dangerous task of climbing in to the dead ships and salvaging anything they can. From copper pipe to pools of oil, it is dangerous work and one where the smaller you are, the further you can go inside the ships. After a severe storm, Nailer and his friend find a "swank" boat that has been wrecked in the storm. Thinking that his fortune has been made, things don't go as planned when they discover a young girl alive in the wreckage.
