A New York Times Bestseller! Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you.
'Clever, creative, and exquisitely written' Stephanie Garber For
generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people
believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with
death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown
into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be
chosen and end the suffering. Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's
brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the
night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even
knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother,
Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead. Swept away to
the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical
beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With
the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons,
gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the
storms once and for all. But she doesn't have much time: a human
cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those
who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking . . . The
Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a
classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki's
Spirited Away. 'A beautiful, mesmerizing retelling' Elizabeth Lim,
New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes 'A true
jewel of a story' Janella Angeles, bestselling author of Where
Dreams Descend
A search for the Beast, a Yeti-like creature within the heart of the Amazon, becomes a quest for self-discovery in this young adult coming-of-age story filled with international adventure, rich mythology, and magical realism from globally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende.
Fifteen-year-old Alexander Cold has the chance to take the trip of a lifetime. Parting from his family and ill mother, Alexander joins his fearless grandmother, a magazine reporter for International Geographic, on an expedition to the dangerous, remote world of the Amazon. Their mission, along with the others on their team--including a celebrated anthropologist, a local guide and his young daughter Nadia, and a doctor--is to document the legendary Yeti of the Amazon known as the Beast.
Under the dense canopy of the jungle, Alexander is amazed to discover much more than he could have imagined about the hidden worlds of the rain forest. Drawing on the strength of the jaguar, the totemic animal Alexander finds within himself, and the eagle, Nadia's spirit guide, both young people are led by the invisible People of the Mist on a thrilling and unforgettable journey to the ultimate discovery.
