New York Times #1 best-selling author Rick Riordan pays homage to Jules Verne in his exciting modern take on 20,000 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. 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.Complete your middle grade action-adventure collection with these titles: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick RiordanArtemis Fowl by Eoin ColferRick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani ChokshiRick Riordan Presents: City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda

This stand alone Rick Riordan book is an action-packed story with great characters that picks up the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea story in the present day. It was the first book I ever led for my middle grade book club!🌊

Open to everyone who wants to play along! Happy #middlegrademonday to all!

Daisey Somehow I‘ve missed this standalone by Riordan. I‘ll have to look it up! 3mo

“I never realized how much of leadership is learning to sound confident when you're actually terrified.”

Daughters of the Deep is a retrofuturism science fiction novel. This would be a good book to have in your classroom because it combines elements of the past and the future giving students a unique perspective on technology, society, and imagination which encourages critical thinking.

Mehso-so

Daughters of the Deep by Rick Riordan is a speculative fictional novel that was published in 2021. The only remaining member of Ana's family is her elder brother Dev, who is also a student at HP. Ana's parents passed away two years ago when she was on a research excursion. The class's weekend trial at sea, the specifics of which have been kept a secret, marks Ana's first year in college. She only hopes that she has what it takes to be successful.

How did Rick Riordan make a retelling of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea interesting? I have no idea, but I really enjoyed reading it.

After an attack destroys Ana Dakkar‘s school, she & the rest of her yearmates are in a race to recover a lost treasure of technological marvels before it falls into the hands of those who would abuse it.

An intense, fast paced story, bursting at the seams with diverse/interesting characters, & an examination on the importance of honest communication. The friendships are delightful. Ending was satisfying, but open enough for a sequel🤞🏻🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern I have to laugh, because every time in the story it would say we can‘t let governments have these technologies, I would be thinking “hmmm, really though?” But then they would add corporations and I would pivot to think “no, no, you‘re right.” 😂😂 2y

I never want to hear anyone say they can't include diversity in their fiction when Rick Riordan is out here doing this. Also I WANT TO BE ONE OF ANA'S CLASSMATES HOLY CATS. #mglit #housedolphin

An intense adventure filled with humor and well-placed nods to the novels of Jules Verne.

While I'm disappointed there won't be more mythology stories, Riordan can do no wrong. It still feels like a typical Riordan adventure book which I'm happy about. Since I had read the Verne books as well I felt like it added to the experience. I can't wait to read future under water adventures and see what he comes up with next.

Intertwined with Jules Verne‘s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” this is another great high-action middle grade read from Rick Riordan!

I loved everything about this book. Uncle Rick does it again, where Jules Vernes 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and Mysterious Island are historic fiction. (favorite classic) The Nautilus is real, and she is Ana‘s inheritance. What struck me is the no real rush of adrenaline of danger, but hurdles to overcome. The past flows effortlessly into this modern storyline. Ester, An autistic girl with trouble on volume control, is like me. She‘s important

mandarchy This looks really good! 3y

Oh My Gosh the Blue Willow Bookshop always go above and beyond when they send their books. I am so excited for this book! Have been since I first heard of it - my favorite modern author writing a story about a favorite classic! Jules Vern was above his time. What I find stellar is that I know this will be a grand book. Uncle Rick has wanted to write this retelling for a decade, he‘s shared. He knows what he‘s doing

Love, love, love this book. It‘s fantastic from the first page to the last. Honestly, I would expect nothing less from Riordan—he definitely got the awesome storyteller gene. A thrilling story with a great group of diverse characters, danger, adventure & loads of surprises, this homage to Jules Verne & 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea might be my favorite thing Riordan has written after the original Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Excellent.
