Deep Water: A Story of Survival

A thrilling middle grade survival story about a scuba dive gone wrong and two enemies who must unite to survive.

“[A] gripping tale of endurance for young readers.” —Wall Street Journal

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 miles off the coast of Alabama, twelve-year-old Julie Sims must take over and lead two of his clients on a dive while her father stays behind in the boat. When the clients, a reckless boy around Julie’s age and his equally foolhardy father, disregard Julie’s instructions during the dive, she quickly realizes she’s in over her head. But she has no idea what kind of disaster awaits once she surfaces . . .
