The Fires Beneath the Sea

By Lydia Millet
The Fires Beneath the Sea by Lydia Millet digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

  • First book in a series reminiscent of classic children's adventure books. Think Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time and Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising. Those books have passionate fans of all ages and this book will garner the same.
  • The first book for younger readers by an author whose adult titles have received critical acclaim and won major awards.
  • Supernatural adventure with a powerful environmental message.
  • Boston-born author + Massachusetts publisher! We should be able to get this into every store in New England and then the rest of the country.
  • We're going to make a pretty (and irresistible!) book. You can use our Jaon Aiken The Serial Garden as a visual model.
  • An excellent book for summer readers on Cape Cod and, yes, everywhere!

    The Fires Beneath the Sea Reviews

    4.0
    “The Fires Beneath the Sea is about Cara and her two brothers, Max and Jax (short for Jackson). Their mom, an accomplished marine biologist, went missing over the summer under some murky circumstances. Now Cara is seeing sea animals in parts of the ocean where they shouldn't be. A mysterious man who pours water from his face won't leave the kids alone. Things are getting weird for Cara and her brothers, and whatever is happening is only getting started. I quite enjoyed The Fires Beneath the Sea. At just under 300 pages it's a quick read. The Fires Beneath the Sea is appropriate for younger middle age readers but intelligent enough to interest older audiences as well. The story is fast paced without getting ahead of itself. Millet has a good flow to her prose.”
