Berkeley and her best friend Garth work as salvage scavengers on the Atlas – a cruise ship that was repurposed for family living when the polar icecaps melted and all land on Earth disappeared. When Berkeley stirs up a vicious, giant sea monster, she and Garth are banished to the Britannica – a submarine that specializes in tracking and trying to destroy monsters before they can attack the few ships that remain. There the pair learn the truth about their new world and the monsters of the deep which are making their presence more frequently known.
Berkeley’s encounters with sea monsters and her ingenuity are fun to read. If you have kids who like apocalyptic fiction or books about cryptids, you have a winner. For elementary students this would also be a good classroom read aloud option.
