New York Times #1 best-selling author Rick Riordan pays homage to Jules Verne in his exciting modern take on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Ana Dakkar is a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy, a five-year high school that graduates the best marine scientists, naval warriors, navigators, and underwater explorers in the world. Ana's parents died while on a scientific expedition two years ago, and the only family's she's got left is her older brother, Dev, also a student at HP. Ana's freshman year culminates with the class's weekend trial at sea, the details of which have been kept secret. She only hopes she has what it'll take to succeed. All her worries are blown out of the water when, on the bus ride to the ship, Ana and her schoolmates witness a terrible tragedy that will change the trajectory of their lives. 

But wait, there's more. The professor accompanying them informs Ana that their rival school, Land Institute, and Harding-Pencroft have been fighting a cold war for a hundred and fifty years. Now that cold war has been turned up to a full broil, and the freshman are in danger of becoming fish food. In a race against deadly enemies, Ana will make amazing friends and astounding discoveries about her heritage as she puts her leadership skills to the test for the first time.

Rick Riordan's trademark humor, fast-paced action, and wide cast of characters are on full display in this undersea adventure.

Reviews:

"If you have ever craved a story that will leave your heart racing, your lungs gasping from the numerous twists and turns, your soul heaving from the effort of now carrying an ensemble cast, you will find all that and more in these pages."―New York Times best-selling author Roshani Chokshi

"Daughter of the Deep took me back sixty-seven years, to when I dreamed of becoming Captain Nemo. May all the young minds reading this book dream about the world beneath the sea and then make their dreams come true just like I did."―Dr. Robert Ballard, from aboard his ship of exploration, the E/V Nautilus 


My Review: 

Daughter of the Deep is another fun and adventurous book by Rick Riordan. I enjoyed reading even though I am not the targeted audience for it. It was entertaining to take a journey with Ana. I liked that it is based on the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I never knew what was going to happen next. I thought it was pretty good.

I am giving Daughter of the Deep four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of ten and fourteen years of age and enjoy reading science fiction with a suspenseful twist. I look forward to more like this from Rick Riordan in the future. This one would make a good addition to a middle school’s library or classroom. 

I received a paperback copy of Daughter of the Deep from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
