Publisher's Summary

Caden Bosch is on a ship that's headed for the deepest point on Earth: Challenger Deep, the southern part of the Marianas Trench.

Caden Bosch is a brilliant high school student whose friends are starting to notice his odd behavior.

Caden Bosch is designated the ship's artist in residence, to document the journey with images.

Caden Bosch pretends to join the school track team but spends his days walking for miles, absorbed by the thoughts in his head.

Caden Bosch is split between his allegiance to the captain and the allure of mutiny.

Caden Bosch is torn.

A captivating and powerful novel that lingers long beyond the last second, Challenger Deep is a heartfelt tour de force by one of today's most admired writers for teens.

What the critics say

"When handled well by a voice actor, an unreliable narrator is a delight—the narrator makes the listener believe in the character and then slowly reveals that all is not as it seems. Such is the work of Michael Curran-Dorsano as he narrates from the point of view of Caden Bosch..." ( AudioFile)

Incredible portrayal of mental health struggles

The author did an amazing job of taking me through what it is like to struggle with extreme mental health issues through Kaden’s eyes. I don’t think I have ever truly been into a story’s end like this, seeming I just don’t tend to attach myself into fictional stories. This story had me aching for Kaden. Nearing the end when he had a big decision to make for himself, I was truly worried for him and didn’t know which way he was going to go. This is an incredibly relatable story that I really recommend for someone who’s interested in the perspective of someone mentally ill. Diving deep into understanding the perspective of a young teen struggling with mental health issues, and how he deals with it.

They way the book was written and the perspective.

Nothing I didn’t dislike. However when you start to read this book you have to finish to understand the full story. I like that about books.
