Reach for this book when your teen is grappling with the heavy weight of family responsibility or the pressure of making difficult choices to protect those they love.

In a future where the world is mostly underwater, eighteen-year-old Jin must risk her life to raid a sunken city to save her sister. While the plot is a high-octane heist, the heart of the story explores the lengths we go to for family and the resilience required to survive in a world that feels stacked against us. It is a gritty, fast-paced science fiction adventure suitable for older teens who enjoy high stakes and complex emotional dilemmas. You might choose this for a reader who feels a bit like an 'old soul' due to their own family circumstances or personal hardships.
