This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
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.

Why I’m Waiting: I don’t think I’ve ever added something to my TBR so fast. I don’t even remember reading the synopsis. It doesn’t matter. As long as it says its written by Rick Riordan, I’m going to read it. And the cover is also gorgeous. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. Unfortunately it’s going to be high on my expectations list because after Percy Jackson and Jason’s series, Idk how you can get much better. I cannot wait for this!
What about you? Have you read this series? Will you be waiting on this with me? What do you think of this cover! Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! Literally just saw this at the last blog visit! Hope this one lives up to all your expectations and more!
Here’s my CWW
Have a GREAT day!
