The Living

By: Matt de la Pena

Narrated by: Henry Leyva

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...there’s always going to be a fresh crop of passengers, after all. He’ll rake in the tips and be able to help his mom with the bills.

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.

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.

And Shy hasn’t even faced the worst yet.

Amazing

Read them when I was in jail the books all around the living & the hunted are one of my favorite series

Thrilling story!

My daughter listened to this first after Matt De La Pena spoke at her school. She's bugged me to read it and now I know why she loved it. Wonderful believable characters woven into a rich and exciting tale. The narrator for this book does a great job of illustrating each character through his voice.

Audible version is distracting.

The tone and voice of the narrator for the audiobook does not match the tone and voice of the character in the book.
Straight-laced versus urban street.
Otherwise the story is great.
