Lily’s emotional problems run deep – seven miles deep. After she gets kicked out of school for her destructive behaviour, Lily agrees to an unusual fresh start: going with her scientist 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. A mind-expanding thriller set in the ocean’s depths, a terrifying struggle for survival—and the story of one girl’s path to selfacceptance.

Twelve-year-old Mikey is doing a school project on the Pentagon where his father works as a civilian contractor. Mikey has been given special permission to visit his dad’s office and do some research on the facility, all for a class report. At first he finds the tour strangely tame ... until all the TVs across the office space begin showing the attacks on the Twin Towers. Like everyone, Mikey is transfixed and horrified by what he’s seeing. Then, the world around him explodes. Sage is an 18-month-old border collie and search-and-rescue dog. He’s been training since he was a young pup and is eager for his first official mission. Sage is confident in his skills, perhaps even too confident. But today those skills will be put to a dire and tragic test. Thrust together on one of the darkest days in American history, Mikey and Sage are both still young. But they’ll do everything they can to help ... and to survive.

SALES POINTS:

• The rescue dog in the story is loosely based on real search-and-rescue dogs that were sent to search for survivors of the Pentagon attack.

Mia doesn’t know Jade. But Jade knows everything about Mia ... so much so that she’s turned herself into Mia’s doppelganger. A doppelganger that’s so convincing that when Jade is found dead, everyone believes it was Mia.
