ABOUT THE BOOK: 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…every cruise has a fresh crop of passengers, after all. He’ll rake in the tips and be able to help his mom and sister out 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.
“The Living is special because of its extraordinary protagonist, Shy, who I haven’t been able to shake from my mind in the weeks since I read the book.” -John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars
"There’s no way to classify The Living. It’s everything I love mixed into one fantastic, relentless, action-packed story. As always with Matt, the characters are the best part. So real. I loved this book.” -James Dashner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series
“An addictive page-turner and character-driven literary novel with broad appeal for fans of both.” -Kirkus Reviews, Starred (phoenixbooksvt)… (mais)

Oakland - The Diesel Readers discuss "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" by Annie Dillard Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes The Diesel Readers back to the store to discuss Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard on Monday, May 13th at 7pm. Pilgrim at Tinker Creek , which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975, is the story of a dramatic year in Virginia's Blue Ridge valley. In it, Annie Dillard sets out to see what she can see; what she sees are astonishing incidents of "mystery, death, beauty, violence."
"Dillard is stalking the reader as surely as any predator stalks its game... A remarkable psalm of terror and celebration." - Melvin Maddocks, Time
