The living by Matt de la Pena. He has also written ball don’t lie, I will save you and Mexican whiteboy. His books are similar because they involve poverty and Latin heritage. The living is a book about a boy who is Mexican and is working on a cruise ship for money but then something unexpected happens.
In the living shy (the main character) is working on a cruise ship and his family is back home in San Diego. He befriends the others working on the ship with him such as Carmen, Rodney and Kevin. Shy and Carmen have a connection because they’ve both had family killed by Romero disease. But Carmen has a fiancé back at home and she has to decide between him or shy while the biggest earthquake ever recorded hits California.
I personally really like reading the living because it’s not just about some apocalyptic world we get to go deeper with the characters and hear about their problems and their families problems. This book is good for all ages and if you have any spare time I strongly suggest reading it. Go read!
