From the author of the Michael L. Printz award-winning novel "In
Darkness" comes a critically-acclaimed, fast-paced thriller that's as
dangerous as the seas on which it's set.The last thing Amy planned to do
this summer was sail around the world trapped on a yacht with her
father and her stepmother. Really, all she wanted was to fast-forward to
October when she'll turneighteen and take control of her own
life.Aboard the "Daisy May," Amy spends time sunbathing, dolphin
watching and forgetting the past as everything floats by . . . until one
day in the Gulf of Aden another boat appears. A boat with guns and
pirates - the kind that kill.Immediately, the pirates seize the boat and
its human cargo. Hostage One is Amy's father - the most valuable.
Hostage Two: her stepmother. And Hostage Three is Amy, who can't believe
what's happening. As the ransom brokering plays out, Amy finds herself
becoming less afraid, and evenstranger still, drawn to one of her
captors, a teenage boy who wants desperately to be more than who he has
become. Suddenly it becomes brutally clear that the price of life and
its value are two very different things . . .
