{"product_id":"9780152008956","title":"River Rats","description":"\u003cbr\u003eA paddle wheeler cruises up the Mississippi, delivering mail and hosting an occasional concert. A scene straight out of the nineteenth century? Not quite. This Mississippi is a toxic brown river. And the paddle wheeler is run by the River Rats, a troop of orphans who survived the Flash--a nuclear holocaust. What were once huge cities are now plague-ridden ruins, haunted by gangs of savage children. And the concerts the Rats play are post-apocalyptic rock and roll, a music as rough and ragged as the musicians who perform it. When the Rats rescue a stranger from the river, suddenly all the troubles of the old world threaten to end their travels forever. “This adventure is too good to miss.”--\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49807499395312,"sku":"9780152008956","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780152008956","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
