He just got her dream job: working on a luxury cruise line. He'll rake in the tips and be able to help his mom and sister out with the bills. Plus, there'll be lots of bikinis, free food, maybe even a girl or two . . . every cruise has a fresh crop of passengers, after all. But then, an earthquake more massive than any ever recorded hits California and Shy's life quickly becomes a nightmare as giant waves cause the cruise ship to begin to sink. Twenty-four hours and a catastrophic chain of events later, Shy is lost at sea, fighting to survive. <p/><i>Un thriller que se lee de manera compulsiva y que cuenta con un protagonista entrañable y absolutamente creíble. Dicho protagonista es un adolescente llamado Shy, quien acaba de conseguir el empleo soñado: trabajar en un crucero. Ahora no sólo tiene dinero para ayudar a su madre y a su hermana, sino que también le alcanza para sus gastos personales. Pero esto no es todo. El ambiente a bordo de estos barcos de lujo es sensacional. Hay chicas hermosas en bikini, comida gratis y mucha diversión. Pero un suceso inesperado hace que el sueño se convierta en pesadilla. Big One, el terremoto más grande que se registra en Norteamérica, provoca olas gigantes y el crucero comienza a hundirse. Así, lo que parece una travesía tranquila se convierte en un infierno que lo obligará a recurrir a toda su inteligencia y determinación para sobrevivir. Esta novela va más allá del género de desastres para trazar una alegoría de nuestra época.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Matt de la Peña </b>attended the University of the Pacific for undergrad and received a master's degree in creative writing from the University of San Diego.
