Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
meets Frankenstein in Deeplight, an inventive YA fantasy from award-winning author Frances Hardinge.
The gods are dead. Fifty years ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. Nobody knows why.
Now, even coin-sized scraps of dead god are worth a fortune because of the strange powers they’re said to possess. But few are brave enough to dive and search for them.
When 15-year-old Hark finds the still-beating heart of one of these deities, he’ll risk everything to keep it out of the hands of smugglers, scientists, and cults who would kill for its power. Because Hark needs the heart if he wants to save the life of his best friend, Jelt. But the power of a god was not meant for human hands.
With the heart, Jelt begins to eerily transform, and Hark will have to decide if he can stay loyal to his friend—or what he’s willing to sacrifice to save him.
“Monsters and mortals collide in this fantasy adventure that explores the hypnotic allure of fear, the adamant grip of the past, and the redeeming power of stories.” —Kirkus Reviews

There are few writers who use words as masterfully as Francis Hardinge. She frequently manages to create deep, meaningful children’s fiction that can be read and enjoyed by youngsters and adults alike — and Deeplight is no different. I have never ever seen deaf people so fluently integrated in the worldbuilding and I am still in awe thinking about it. This is how you write disabled characters, toxic friendships, power-hungry adults and pure, meaningful friendships. No matter your age, you can dive in deep and learn from this book in the most entertaining way possible. I love this book so much, I can’t even express it. If you’re only going to read one more novel this year, make sure it’s this one. I promise it’ll be worth your while.
