What’s the Story
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
My Thoughts
Daughter of the Deep is a standalone light reading novel by Rick Riordan. Like his style it’s a book with a modern take on 20000 thousand leagues under the sea by Jules Verne. The book is a good break from all the other heavy reading there is a good flow in the story and feels connected.
the book is fast paced and doesn’t let the reader dwell on anything plot is well connected and the book has gotten a good flow. Over all i think children will love reading it. I am more happy because this is the first book in riordanverse that has something to do with India
