![]() ![]() ![]() Both books have been designated as A Junior Library Guild Selection. She decribes them as Underwater Westerns. ![]() In Dark Life and its sequel, Rip Tide, Kat takes middle grade readers on an action-packed adventure under the sea. So far, it’s one of my favorite reads for this year. Kat Falls is the author of Inhuman, Dark Life, and Rip Tide. Novelist Kat Falls writes science fiction thrillers for young people. I absolutely recommend you read this book. The story felt original and very creative and I really liked the characters and the relationships built between them. I loved this book! It’s a mix of the the wild frontier meets X-Men, set mostly underwater. Between protecting his homestead from a band of outlaws, to meeting the fearless Topsider Gemma, Ty is thrown into a crazy chain of events that will change his life. Rumors abound that the brains of children who live in the ocean are affected by the intense water pressure. Topsiders refer to living in the ocean as the, “Dark Life”. Ty and his family are ‘pioneer’ settlers that are living in underwater homes in the ocean and cultivating the ocean floor. Topsiders (people who live on land) live in stack cities with virtually no space to move around. As a result of climate change and earthquakes, the world’s oceans have risen and there is little land for humans to live on. Dark Life is a post-apocalyptic type book. ![]()
