Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peñaâs The Hunted is a high-energy, action-packed survival story and the sequel to The Living.
âDe la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.â-Entertainment Weekly review of The Living, A-
Â
  When the Big One hit, Shy was at sea in style. The Paradise Cruise luxury liner he worked on was a hulking specimen of the best money could buy. And now it's at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, along with almost all of its passengers.
  Shy wasn't the only one to survive, though. Addie, the rich blond daughter of a mysterious businessman, was on the dinghy he pulled himself into. But as soon as they found the rest of the survivors, she disappeared.
The only thing that filled the strange void of losing her was finding Carmen, his hot coworker, and discovering a way to get back home. But Shy's luck hasn't turned. Not yet.
  Back on the dinghy, Addie told him a secret. It's a secret that people would kill for--have killed for--and she has the piece that could turn everything on its ear. The problem? Shy has no idea where Addie is. Back home in California seems logical, but there are more ways to die back home then Shy could ever have guessed.
  And thanks to what Shy now knows, he's a moving target.
Praise for The Hunted:
âReaders will be drawn to the raw and gritty setting, fast-moving plot, and diverse characters worth rooting for.ââSchool and Library Journal
"Between [the] fast-paced plot and meaningful, diverse character development, this is a great crossover for fans of both thrillers and more character-driven novels."-Booklist
Praise for The Living:
âDe la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.â-Entertainment Weekly, A-
Â
âAction is first and foremost. . . . De la Peña can uncork delicate but vivid scenes.â âThe New York Times
â[The Living] is special because of its extraordinary protagonist, Shy, who I havenât been able to shake from my mind in the weeks since I read the book.â-John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars
"There's no way to classify The Living. It's everything I love mixed into one fantastic, relentless, action-packed story. As always with Matt, the characters are the best part. So real. I loved this book."-James Dashner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series
[STAR] "An addictive page-turner and character-driven literary novel with broad appeal for fans of both."-Kirkus Reviews, Starred
