Caden Bosch is on a ship that's headed for the deepest point on Earth: Challenger Deep, the southern part of the Marianas Trench.

Caden Bosch is a brilliant high school student whose friends are starting to notice his odd behavior.

Caden Bosch is designated the ship's artist in residence, to document the journey with images.

Caden Bosch pretends to join the school track team but spends his days walking for miles, absorbed by the thoughts in his head.

Caden Bosch is split between his allegiance to the captain and the allure of mutiny.

Caden Bosch is torn.

A captivating and powerful novel that lingers long beyond the last second, Challenger Deep is a heartfelt tour de force by one of today's most admired writers for teens.

Critic reviews

"When handled well by a voice actor, an unreliable narrator is a delight—the narrator makes the listener believe in the character and then slowly reveals that all is not as it seems. Such is the work of Michael Curran-Dorsano as he narrates from the point of view of Caden Bosch..." ( AudioFile)

This one was very different for me. I enjoyed the insight on mental health but the whole ship and captain thing was a little distracting. I still enjoyed it for the most part.

My book club read this book. I was the only one that listened to it on audible. I think I enjoyed it more than anyone else. The person who read the book really made the characters come to life and I just didn't want the book to end. I learned so much about a topic that I knew little about. I will never forget this book and would highly recommend it!

Wow!

I purchased this audio with one review from a good friend. She said, "You'll love it! " Because I didn't know what to expect, it was confusing for a while. When I reached the end, I really felt like I had been on a journey. I think this book is awesome and brilliantly written. The performance was out of this world!
