From the creator of PERCY JACKSON, bestselling author Rick Riordan,
comes a brand-new adventure, inspired by Jules Verne's Twenty
Thousand 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. But now the
heat is on 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 humour, fast-paced action, and wide cast of characters
are on full display in this undersea adventure. Rick Riordan has
now sold an incredible 180 million copies of his books worldwide.
