This week's book pick is Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi.

Nailer has lived his entire life at Bright Sands Beach, thinking only of the work in front of him and survival. As part of an indentured crew toiling on old oil tankers in order to recover their parts, Nailer knows it's likely nothing will ever change. But when the beach experiences one of its worst storms ever, Nailer finds a potential goldmine that will change his life forever.
