Description:
Selected for the ABC Best Books for Children Catalog Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 "An intriguing mix of everyday activities and the otherworldly, The Fires Beneath the Sea pulls readers in. Cara is a likable character who has been put in the uncomfortable position of trying to save her family and help her mother with a mission way beyond the ability of most tweens. Her bravery and fierce love will cause readers to long for her to succeed. A well-done beginning, with some riveting moments and frightening escapes, to what should prove to be a popular series." -- School Library Journal * "Millet's prose is lyrically evocative ("the rhythmic scoop and splash of their paddles"). A lush and intelligent opener for a topical eco-fantasy series." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A thoughtful and thought-provoking beginning to a new fantasy series. The Cape Cod woods, wildlife, and beaches are depicted with loving detail, and the dark forces arrayed against the young protagonists are at once tantalizingly mystifying and alarmingly timely." --Patricia McKillip "Lydia Millet knows the sea like a selkie. The Fires Beneath the Sea smells of salt and tastes of mist, and that beauty speaks as strongly as its story of peril and hope for the future of our fragile world." --Kathe Koja, author of Talk
