Overview

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?

'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 'Griffin's prose is gorgeous and resonant.' Publishers Weekly 'This fast-paced survival adventure makes an excellent crucible for Griffin's examination of class.' Kirkus
