INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Eagar, Lindsay

Race to the Bottom of the Sea

(3) 4-6 After her marine-biologist parents are killed, Fidelia is kidnapped by Merrick the Monstrous, a pirate who needs her diving skills to retrieve his treasure from a shark's territory. Fidelia's grief fits somewhat strangely with the high-flying adventure; nevertheless, the seagoing exploits are first-rate, and Merrick is a charismatic, credibly flawed swashbuckler whose doomed romance will grab readers' sympathies once it's revealed.
