Deep Water: A Story of Survival

Description

From Watt Key, the author of the acclaimed Alabama Moon, comes a thrilling middle grade survival story about a scuba dive gone wrong and two enemies who must unite to survive.

It s the most important rule of scuba diving: If you don t feel right, don t go down.

So after her father falls ill, twelve-year-old Julie Sims must take over and lead two of his clients on a dive miles off the coast of Alabama while her father stays behind in the boat. When the clients, a reckless boy Julie s age and his equally foolhardy father, disregard Julie s instructions during the dive, she quickly realizes she s in over her head.

And once she surfaces, things only get worse: One of the clients is in serious condition, and their dive boat has vanished―along with Julie s father, the only person who knows their whereabouts. It s only a matter of time before they die of hypothermia, unless they become shark bait first. Though Julie may not like her clients, it s up to her to save them all.
