Ideal for 7th-8th graders
Rating: 9/10
This survival book is much more than it seems. Shy takes a job working on a cushy cruise ship for some extra cash when the boat sinks and Shy is thrown into a fight for his life. This book has its twists and turns -I think you will enjoy it.
“De la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.”-Entertainment Weekly
“Action is first and foremost. . . . De la Peña can uncork delicate but vivid scenes.” —The New York Times
