Product description
“An atmospheric, satisfying YA sci-fi thriller” – Guardian“An ominous, evocative science-fiction thriller” – New ScientistLily’s emotional problems run deep – three miles deep. After she gets kicked out of school for her destructive behaviour, Lily agrees to an unusual fresh start: going with her mum to live at Deephaven, an experimental deep-sea mining rig and research station located at the bottom of the ocean. Lily instantly regrets her decision: claustrophobic and isolated, it’s hardly her idea of home. Turns out, Deephaven has problems of its own. The head scientist, they quickly learn, has disappeared – just as he was on the brink of a shocking discovery. In the darkness of the deep, something is stirring … something dangerous. And it’s calling out to Lily.
- Nominated for the 2024 Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing
- A mind-expanding thriller set in the ocean’s depths, a terrifying struggle for survival – and the story of one girl’s path to self-acceptance
- Perfect for fans of Lauren James, Marie Lu and Marissa Meyer
Our February 2023 Teen Book of the Month
For our February Teen Book of the Month we have chosen The Girl Who Broke the Sea. After Lily gets kicked out of school for her destructive behaviour, she agrees to join her mum at Deephaven; an experimental deep-sea mining rig and research station located at the bottom of the ocean. Lily instantly regrets her decision: claustrophobic and isolated, it’s hardly her idea of home. Turns out, Deephaven has problems of its own. The head scientist has disappeared – just as he was on the brink of a shocking discovery. In the darkness of the deep, something is stirring … something dangerous. And it’s calling out to Lily.
This is an edge-of-your-seat deep sea thriller – part disaster movie, part psychological thriller, part alien encounter – that is both a spine-tingling adventure and thoughtful exploration of self-knowledge … and ultimately self-acceptance. With a PhD in physics, MA in creative writing, a background in tech and a hobby of making science projects with his sons, debut author A. Connors is well advised to write this mind-expanding struggle for survival story. Perfect for fans of Frances Hardinge, Brigid Kemmerer and Marissa Meyer.
