Summary

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。

Hits a number of topics that most books/shows/consumable media gloss over when creating a fiction book let alone an adventure book。 Thank you for bathroom breaks。 Looks like it's getting set up for a series。。。but maybe not？ I don't know but I'd read more about this crew。 Hits a number of topics that most books/shows/consumable media gloss over when creating a fiction book let alone an adventure book。 Thank you for bathroom breaks。 Looks like it's getting set up for a series。。。but maybe not？ I don't know but I'd read more about this crew。 。。。more

this was SO DIFFERENT from what Rick Riordan usually writes， but that was expected。 It was still really good tho， has to be one of my favorite reads this year。 I ALSO LOVE ANA。

Good， but not great。 Definitely not in Percy/Jason league。 A quick， interesting read nonetheless。

i love rick riordan， but this reads a lot like jules verne fanfiction – like an inside joke i don't get cos i didn't read the original book。 it's still a really cool premise， and i do appreciate the effort at creating a diverse character set （both socio-cultural and personality-wise。 can i just say， i love gemini？？？ socially awkward badass who's equal parts trigger-happy and thou-shall-not-take-the-Lord's-name-in-vain， it's sooo good）。 enjoyable and light read， but i kinda wish it'd delved a bit i love rick riordan， but this reads a lot like jules verne fanfiction – like an inside joke i don't get cos i didn't read the original book。 it's still a really cool premise， and i do appreciate the effort at creating a diverse character set （both socio-cultural and personality-wise。 can i just say， i love gemini？？？ socially awkward badass who's equal parts trigger-happy and thou-shall-not-take-the-Lord's-name-in-vain， it's sooo good）。 enjoyable and light read， but i kinda wish it'd delved a bit deeper into itself （ha） instead of focusing so much on 20，000 leagues。 。。。more

I've always heard good things about Rick Riordan's books， especially about 'Percy Jackson' series。 But since I watched PJ movies first （and didn't like them very much， mostly the second） that made me not want to read the books， although I lowkey wanted to read at least one book by him。 The fact this book is his most recent and that it's a stand-alone is the perfect opportunity for me to give it a try。 I've always heard good things about Rick Riordan's books， especially about 'Percy Jackson' series。 But since I watched PJ movies first （and didn't like them very much， mostly the second） that made me not want to read the books， although I lowkey wanted to read at least one book by him。 The fact this book is his most recent and that it's a stand-alone is the perfect opportunity for me to give it a try。 。。。more

Rick Riordan never fails。 I do think this book wasn't as good as his other series， it was missing the spark that makes his books truly amazing。 That said， I really enjoyed this book， the plot and the action were so cool。 Rick Riordan never fails。 I do think this book wasn't as good as his other series， it was missing the spark that makes his books truly amazing。 That said， I really enjoyed this book， the plot and the action were so cool。 。。。more

Rick Riordan does not disappoint with this new tale about exploration and adventure in the ocean。 Bringing back to life the classic tale of 20，000 leagues under the sea to a new modern day tale which will grip modern readers。 Adventure， mystery and proving decisions are not always easy to make depending on the situation you are in and what you are facing。

Loved this！ Another excellent adventure by Rick Riordan

feel like i should give this book a 4 （but no， 3。5 rounded down） solely because of rep。 was it good rep？ no idea。 at least the cast was basically all poc and i like that in a book brought to larger audiences。

As someone who's never read 20，000 Leagues Under the Sea or Mysterious Island， I wasn't totally sure what to expect going into this book。 But Rick's introduction immediately put my mind at ease--his passion for the source material was palpable， and I couldn't wait to dive in （pun intended）。After her school is attacked， Ana must unravel the secrets of the Academy， as well as her own lineage。 What follows is an intense physical and emotional journey that takes place over several days。 By the end， As someone who's never read 20，000 Leagues Under the Sea or Mysterious Island， I wasn't totally sure what to expect going into this book。 But Rick's introduction immediately put my mind at ease--his passion for the source material was palpable， and I couldn't wait to dive in （pun intended）。After her school is attacked， Ana must unravel the secrets of the Academy， as well as her own lineage。 What follows is an intense physical and emotional journey that takes place over several days。 By the end， Ana is transported to a new reality in which anything is possible--and we get to come along for the ride。I loved the different Houses at HP Academy （Team Dolphin！）， as well as all the cool gadgets and animal sidekicks。 But the best part of this book was the cast of characters。 Ana and her friends are incredibly diverse in a myriad of ways， but they respect that and see their differences as strengths。 Honestly， this book gives me hope for a brighter future。 。。。more
