Reach for this book when your teenager feels like an outsider or is struggling with a sense of not quite fitting into their own skin. Deep Water follows Danni, a girl whose life is upended when her mother vanishes, forcing a move to a remote Cornish village. As she unravels the mystery of her family's past, she discovers that the physical changes she is experiencing are tied to ancient Celtic folklore. It is a haunting, atmospheric exploration of identity, puberty, and the courage it takes to embrace who you truly are. While it features elements of the supernatural, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the teenage experience of feeling different. It is perfect for ages 12 and up.
