Rendition Toward Books Adrift
Five teenagers. One boat. Who will come back alive?Matt and his best friend, John, only came out to Montauk for the summer to make a little extra cash and then head back home. A seemingly basic plan for two guys from Queens.
And then Matt meets Driana.
Because it’s always about a girl, right?
The girl leads to a party, the party leads to a boat, which leads to being adrift at sea with three rich kids who have no clue about how to navigate a boat, let alone actually survive.
Matt and John are used to creating stability in unstable situations, but Matt’s busy falling in love at the worst possible time, and John can rub people the wrong way when he’s focused on survival. Driana is trying to keep the peace, but her friends JoJo and Stef aren’t making it easy. The longer they are out there, the lower everyone’s reserves of mental and emotional strength, which is a problem since the biggest mistakes can happen when people are tired and hungry and have no hope.
How far will each of them go to survive?
And what happens when old tensions and past ghosts rise to the surface?

Four teenagers on a boat adrift in the ocean... what can go wrong? Everything that can go wrong will go wrong and I loved getting to know these characters and the lengths they go to in order to survive. The psychological aspects were very well written and the race for survival kept me "at the edge of my seat" (I listened to it as an audiobook so no seats when I listened to it) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 4.5 stars.Actual rating: 3.5 starsI read this one aloud to my 6th grade literacy group. We were all oh-so-totally into it. At least, we were until that ending. My kids were fascinated by this tale of survival at sea (and for those that have taught middle school, you know how extraordinarily difficult it is to get an entire room of 6th graders to all agree on anything!) and begged me to read every day. They were actually disappointed when it was time to go at the end of the block. With a few slow
A gripping read. I felt like I was on the boat with the kids. Could easily see this one becoming a movie. Just the idea of sharks frightens me so I was pretty much freaked out the whole book.

Adrift By: Cole FrazierHow would you do if you had to stay on a raft for sixteen days with no food or water? The Book Adrift by Paul Griffin. Is a book about five teen friends that go and look for there friend that got lost night surfing. But it turns out to be a horrible decision. They get stuck on the boat for sixteen days without food or water. When they thought things couldn't get any worse it did, friends died and they went into severe dehydration. But even though things went bad the five
Adrift is a book I finished in a few hours; it's a very easy-to-read and not very memorable young adult novel. Telling the story of several teens trying to survive at sea, it wasn't a bad book and although I didn't find it all that great, I still liked it.
This was the perfect kind of holiday read. Light, unchallenging, easy reading. I'm really drawn to books set in and around water, so that combined with the cover (love it) called out to me to read it.What I liked most about the book were the earlier scenes of the five young people on the boat; seeing both their attempts to keep themselves alive as well as the affect the stress and fear had on each character and their subsequent reactions.What didn't work so well for me was that I thought the
What an intense book! Five new friends working on Montauk for the summer must trust each other with their lives when they become lost at sea, after a midnight party goes horribly wrong. As the drama on the boat plays out, each teen's story and true nature comes to light. Can, and should, they trust one another? I love it when disaster novels mention that not everyone makes it back alive - I try and guess who it will be. This is a "read in one sitting book", for sure!Tune in to our weekly podcast
