Wholesale Monster Missions, The : Laura Martin

Laura Martin Paperback JUVENILE FICTION/Action & Adventure / General From the critically acclaimed author of Float and Glitch comes another funny and fast-paced stand-alone adventure, now in paperback, about a pair of friends on a sea monster–hunting submarine! Fans of Dan Gutman and Gordon Korman will be sucked into this thrilling, action-packed adventure, set in an all-too-real future version of our world where all land is covered by water, and where sea monsters lurk just below the surface. Twelve-year-old Berkley and her best friend, Garth, have never seen land. Tide Rising happened over 50 years ago, and since then, people have lived on ships, scavenging for resources. Berkley and Garth are divers, scouring the ocean floor for supplies to take back to their ship. They never expected to find sea monsters there. When Berkley accidentally awakens a Hydra, she and Garth are sent to live on a sea monster–hunting submarine. The creatures they study, track, and sometimes kill are the stuff of nightmares. But what haunts Berkley most is knowing that the Hydra she disturbed will hold a grudge against her home ship for the rest of its life—and if the ship goes down, her family will, too. Berkley and her crew must find a way to save the ship. But sea monsters aren’t the only menacing creatures lurking in the ocean’s depths.
