Caden Bosch is fifteen, an excellent student, and a remarkable artist. Lately, he's been wandering the city more and more, alone with his thoughts. Friends and family notice that he's become confused and thoughtful. Caden draws a lot, drawing something extremely strange and incomprehensible. He also thinks that a classmate wants to kill him... At the same time, Caden is traveling on a huge ship. His mission is to retrieve untold treasures from Challenger Deep. Only in the real world, Challenger Deep is an abyss of madness, into which Caden sinks deeper with each passing day. Neal Shusterman wrote a very personal book in which he tries to understand what it's like to 'navigate the dark, unpredictable waters of mental illness.'
