The Deep by Zetta Elliott

5.0

Wow, just wow! I don't even know how to begin to describe this book without giving it all away. I didn't realize that "Ship of Souls" was the first book and that this one follows but you can read this book and understand 95% of what is going on without reading "Ship of Souls." I don't think I've ever read a book where a young black girl has any sort of mystical powers or super powers. This is the only book I've ever come across like this. This is a powerful book and it's a chance to show kids that often don't find themselves represented in books that they can be somebody amazing.
