Dark Life by Kat Falls

This is a great book. It is very unique. Several books describe what might happen in the future but there hasn't been one that takes place underwater, that I've heard of. Earthquakes shattered the Earth and water flooded about half of the world. The people who live on land barely have a closet to themselves but this is the future, so people can live underwater, too. The kids who do are said to have almost magical powers. There are two main characters; a girl who comes to look for her older brother and a boy who lives underwater and whose home is threatened by outlaws. This is a book that shows you the beauty of deep underwater and makes the impossible possible. This book is good for children ages 8-13. Some things that I liked in this book are that it really captures the beauty of deep underwater. It's setting is made surreal through words, which I always look for and books. No complaints, here. An amazing books that I would give 5 out of 5 stars.
