We Are Hunted
A boy must work with his family and other resort guests to make it off an island after the animals turn feral in Tomi Oyemakinde's We Are Hunted, where White Lotus meets Jurassic Park for the young adult audience and exploring guilt, spectacle, and the dangers of capitalism!

Experience paradise, reimagined.

When 17-year-old Femi Fatona and his older brother are forced to accompany their dad to an island resort, Femi is not looking forward to it. After all, he hasn't exactly been getting along with either of them lately. Not much is known about the resort they'll be staying at, as it's on a newly-discovered island and shrouded in nondisclosure agreements, but at least it promises to be full of all the extravagant luxuries they're used to.

Once they arrive, Femi is thrilled to find that the island is bursting with new and spectacular species of plants and animals. But he soon realizes that sometimes pretty exteriors hide ugly truths-truths that are begging to come to light.

But those truths come with a price. And, when the island is thrown into chaos from animals suddenly becoming feral, what was meant to be a peaceful bonding experience quickly becomes the stuff of nightmares. Femi will have to put aside tension with his family and work with other guests, in order to escape the animals, the island, and his own guilt at the part he may have played in all of it.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Full of twists and turns, a cast full of characters to root for, and so much heart, WE ARE HUNTED is impossible to put down. Tomi Oyemakinde is truly a master of suspense, in a league of his own." —Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me

"Edgy, compelling, and fiercely anticolonial, We Are Hunted is Tomi Oyemakinde's brilliant follow-up to his thrilling debut. This original, immersive story is brimming with pulse-pounding action, but it is its relatable characters and complex family dynamics that will make sure this tale stays with readers long after the final page is turned." — Katya de Becerra, author of They Watch From Below and the Aurealis-winning When Ghosts Call Us Home
