The Hunted

By: Matt de la Peña

Narrated by: Henry Leyva

Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peña's The Hunted, the sequel to The Living, is a high-energy, action-packed survival story.

"De la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel." - Entertainment Weekly on The Living, A-

For those left living, it's kill or be killed. When Shy pulled himself from the wreckage of the Paradise Cruise luxury liner, he met Addie. Addie was rich and blond, and with no one else to trust, she told Shy a secret she never should have revealed.

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 than Shy could ever have guessed. And thanks to what Shy knows now, he's a moving target.

Critic reviews

"Readers will be drawn to the raw and gritty setting, fast-moving plot, and diverse characters worth rooting for." ( School 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)

a good conclusion to this mini series

continues where the living left off it gets really intense and really emotional overall a great ending

Really good story

I story has really good pacing there is no boring part in this book there is a lot of action

Great book but too many loose ends…

I wish they wrapped up the whole thing with Carmen in a less confusing way. Same with what happened to Addie and especially the meaning behind Shoe’s book lighting up.
