Description

A fast-paced young adult novel about four very different teens lost at sea with no one to count on but themselves. Matt and John are best friends, working-class guys trying to earn some money in Montauk for the summer. When they meet Driana, JoJo, and Stef, three friends who live a much different life of priviledge, Matt and John find themselves in a sticky situation where temptation rivals sensability. Worlds collide when the group ventures out to sea aboard a small boat that Stef sneaks out from her dad's dock. As the waves rise and the fragil vessel weakens, things go horribly wrong. Adrift at sea for days, who will have what it takes to survive

Reviews

'Burning Blue masters the difficult sub-genre of the psychological thriller.' Weekend Australian 'His lonely, vulnerable characters, including the parents are totally convincing and the mystery and excitement of the hacking kept me turning the pages.' -- Choices for English, AATE 'Griffin gracefully answers and solves mysteries, leaving us with hope and a smile without making things falsely shiny and bright.' New York Times 'This fast-paced survival adventure makes an excellent crucible for Griffin's examination of class.' Kirkus 'A terrifying survival story in which past traumas are as visceral and intense as present circumstances.' STARRED Review, Publishers Weekly 'Highly recommended as a good dramatic narrative for both genders...This is daunting drama and powerful writing.' ReadPlus 'Really, really gripping.' Once Upon a Bookish Time 'The storyline has a dangerous undercurrent of unpredictability and I loved every moment...superbly written...the thriller aspect is pure perfection.' Diva Booknerd '[Adrift] really delves into how the mind would handle an indefinite time at sea with no food. That is interesting. And terrifying...A psychologically intriguing survival story.' Paper Fury 'Getting into the minds of people who are so desperate to survive was very interesting, and often chilling at times...I recommend Adrift to people looking for something quick and thrilling to read.'
