Books with title Hunted

Yetty was raised in this forest. Her brother was raised in this forest. And now the forest is trying to kill them. When the annual raid turns bloody, Yetty and her brother Dirt find themselves and the few survivors of their village left wounded, homeless, and afraid. As if this weren't enough, now it appears that someone is hunting them...someone far more powerful then a few ruthless marauders. Cloaked strangers, hungry dragons, and enormous amphibians threaten them from seemingly every side as the two backwoods siblings flee the only home they have ever known and run into an unknown world filled with danger, deception and unwarrantedly irritating royalty.

Newbery Medal-winning author Matt de la Peña’s The Hunted is a high-energy, action-packed survival story and the sequel to The Living.“De la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.”-Entertainment Weekly review of The Living, A- When the Big One hit, Shy was at sea in style. The Paradise Cruise luxury liner he worked on was a hulking specimen of the best money could buy. And now it's at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, along with almost all of its passengers. Shy wasn't the only one to survive, though. Addie, the rich blond daughter of a mysterious businessman, was on the dinghy he pulled himself into. But as soon as they found the rest of the survivors, she disappeared. The only thing that filled the strange void of losing her was finding Carmen, his hot coworker, and discovering a way to get back home. But Shy's luck hasn't turned. Not yet. Back on the dinghy, Addie told him a secret. 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 then Shy could ever have guessed. And thanks to what Shy now knows, he's a moving target.Praise for The Hunted:“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."-BooklistAn International Latino Book Award Best Young Adult Fiction Honorable Mention BookPraise for The Living:“De la Peña has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.”-Entertainment Weekly, A- “Action is first and foremost. . . .
