Purchase options and add-ons
"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
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, a New York Times #1 best-seller.

This is a fun romp blending modern with historical times but without the mythology present in other Riordan books (though you could admit to the mythology of Jules Verne should you choose), so it’s a bit of a breath of fresh air if you’ve read other Riordan works. Though it is a standalone, there is certainly room for sequels.
It didn't feel super different from a regular RR novel, because it is inspired by both Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne. This was like Jules Verne mythology, and it was so much fun.
Ana Dakar, a second year (out of five) at Harding-Pencroft Academy is preparing for the test that will determine her future at the school. She attends the school with her older brother Dev, and her parents died two years before in a naval accident. When a horrible tragedy occurs when she and her fellow classmates are on the bus to the exam, their lives and realities are instantly changed.
I loved Ana and all her friends - they were all very well-rounded and developed, as well as diverse. Even the side characters were well developed with their own personalities. I loved how Ana grew and developed under the new position and pressure she is now under, as well as her "fake it till you make it" attitude. Her character development was wonderful, and I loved her bravery and how she never waved in her own morals. And I loved how much diversity there was. It's probably the most diverse book I've ever read, and it was amazing.
The plot definitely kept me on my toes. Even though I knew something was going to happen on Ana's bus trip, I had know idea what devastation was coming. (Also I loved how her school and their rival school had "The Land" and "The Sea" aspect since Epcot at Disney World as areas named that). I never had great ideas of what was coming next, and every plot turn left me shocked at what all was going to happen. It almost made me want to read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. The plot twist near the end had me shook.
This was such a great sci-fi boo, a great middle-grade book, a (I assume) a great Jules Verne-inspired boo, and a wonderful book in general. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
This book had a slightly smaller charm than his others. I felt like there are a lot of repetitions, also some parts were overwritten. Overally the writing would have needed some "ripening" and an extra round of revision from the author. Some parts it turned into the parody of themselves.
However, the storyline was enjoyable, some events were shocking, and the parts about the Nautilus were very interesting.
Everyone says this is a standalone, but I definitely feel that the door has been left wide open for sequels.
And then why 5 stars? It made me want to read the original, of which I am in the process. While reading, my 4 year old became interested in the "super cool submarine", so I bought a children's version of Verne's book 20.000 leagues... which we are now reading daily. We also built a Lego Nautilus. Moreover, we watched the cartoon version of The Mistery Island. Hence the crying - my son was sad the Nautilus has been destroyed.
However, because of Daughter of the Deep I was able to comfort him by saying that the Nautilus has survived and it was just a lie to keep people from searching. He really appreciated this point of view.
So if solely because of this book there are now two generations reading the original, keeping the Nautilus legend alive, it reached its goal and deserves a good rating :)
Occasionally, the internal dialogue gets in the way of the story, but that was minimal. The idea that the inheritors of Nemo's technology could not control it on an international stage given all that wealth is a bit far fetched. But that went to willing suspension of disbelief.
The story was fun to read and experience.
This book was quite the adventure. The main character, Ana Dakkar, is a freshman at the Harding-Pencroft Academy. It's an academy that specializes anything marine - from combat to all types of sciences.
When her freshman class are going out for a weekend assignment, tragedy strikes their school. Their trip is no longer a weekend assignment, but the real deal. Emotions are high and a is leader picked.
Ana learns the truth about her parent's death and astonishing discoveries about her family tree. Ana makes more amazing friendships with her crew as she embarks on an adventure of a lifetime.
