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.\u003cbr\u003e   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. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003e   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. \u003cbr\u003e   And thanks to what Shy now knows, he's a moving target.\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Hunted\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Readers will be drawn to the \u003cb\u003eraw and gritty setting, fast-moving plot, and diverse characters worth rooting for.\u003c\/b\u003e“—\u003ci\u003eSchool and Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Between [the] fast-paced plot and meaningful, diverse character development, this is \u003cb\u003ea great crossover for fans of both thrillers and more character-driven novels.\u003c\/b\u003e\"-\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Living\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“De la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with \u003cb\u003echaracters worthy of a John Green novel.\u003c\/b\u003e”-\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, A-\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Action is first and foremost. . . . \u003cb\u003eDe la Peña can uncork delicate but vivid scenes.\u003c\/b\u003e” —\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[\u003ci\u003eThe Living\u003c\/i\u003e] is \u003cb\u003especial because of its extraordinary protagonist\u003c\/b\u003e, Shy, who I haven’t been able to shake from my mind in the weeks since I read the book.”-John Green, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fault in Our Stars\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There's no way to classify \u003ci\u003eThe Living\u003c\/i\u003e.
