About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels defined by a label, medical condition, or the expectations of others rather than their own adventurous spirit. Blue Broen is a thirteen-year-old living with Type 1 Diabetes, but she is determined to be seen as a treasure hunter first and a patient second. While she searches for a legendary sunken ship to secure her family's future, she must navigate overprotective parents and an unexpected friendship with the daughter of a movie star. This story beautifully balances the technical realities of managing a chronic illness with a high-stakes, fast-paced mystery. It is a perfect choice for middle-grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who are beginning to crave independence and want to see characters who manage real-world challenges while still having epic adventures.
