The Girl Who Broke the Sea

Something is stirring deep beneath the sea... and inside Lily... Lily can't believe her botanist mum has dragged her to Deephaven, the world's first fully sustainable deep-sea rig, to live for the next six months while her mum helps a colleague with an amazing discovery seven miles underwater. This is hardly her idea of home, but then, since Dad left, nowhere is. Her mum is worried about Lily's behaviour issues - Lily has a history of destroying things when she gets stressed - so hopes that a radical change of scenery will help. But Lily's unhappiness builds quickly with everyone living in close proximity, plus the news that her mum's colleague disappeared into the deep and never returned. The missing scientist's grieving son, Evan, is onboard, and he's the one person who seems to understand Lily, even as she loses control and things nearly go fatally wrong. But someone - or something - else is also trying to understand Lily's emotions: the beautiful, seemingly intelligent algae that was discovered at the bottom of the ocean. As Lily's emotions break down, mysterious glitches and power surges start happening all over the rig. It seems that the algae could be a threat to everyone's lives - and if she can't get her feelings under control, so is Lily.
