The Living (The Living Series)

Newbery Award-winning author Matt de la PeÃ±a's The Living is "a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.â€ [Entertainment Weekly, A-]

Â Â Shy takes the summer job to make some money. A few months on a luxury cruise liner--how bad can it be? Bikinis, free food, maybe even a girl or two . . . every cruise has a fresh crop of passengers, after all. He'll rake in the tips and be able to help his mom and sister out with the bills. Â
Â But then, an earthquake more massive than any ever recorded hits California and Shy's life is changed forever.
The earthquake is only the beginning. Twenty-four hours and a catastrophic chain of events later, Shy is lost at sea, fighting to survive--and stuck with her.
Â She's blond and she's rich, and never in her life would she have dreamed she'd be adrift in the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by death and completely dependent on a guy like Shy.
Â And Shy hasn't even faced the worst yet.
Â Look for the thrilling sequel, The Hunted, in bookstores now!
