Deep Water by Watt Key is a realistic fiction book about a scuba dive gone awry where two enemies must work together to survive.
After her father becomes sick, Julie Sims, a 12 year old girl, must take charge in taking two of her father’s clients on a scuba diving trip. Trouble begins when the clients become reckless and disregard the instructions. The scenario worsens when the trio surfaces to find one of them in critical condition and the boat nowhere to be found. Sticking together while. drifting away with the current waiting to be rescued is the only option. The trio loses a little hope with each passing day that goes by without food or water. It is Julie’s job to keep her clients alive, but only so many days can pass without resources before time runs out.
I would rate Deep Water a 9 out of 10. The book is funny, sad, and it has a good writing style. The characters could have been written in more detail, but overall I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
