Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“[Adrift will] haunt readers as much as the lethal injuries, worsening weather, class friction, and psychological instability the teenagers face.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Clues about the characters are revealed in a leisurely manner, leaving readers to guess about their true intentions. This contrasts with the rapidity in which the plot progresses, evidenced by Matt’s immediate willingness to help people he met only a short time before…Recommend to teens who enjoyed Matt de la Peña’s The Living and other survival stories.” School Library Journal
“While the danger is real, the book’s at its most riveting as the characters interact and implode. This fast-paced survival adventure makes an excellent crucible for Griffin’s examination of class.” Kirkus Reviews
