Story Summary
In children's literature, where speculative fiction is dominated by fantasy, this is a welcome and refreshing return to good-old science fiction. On a watery world, the far descendants of a failed human exploring expedition have adapted to life in the sea. Fifteen year-old Tay longs for something different and finds herself outside of the safety zone and caught in a net heading for the surface ... but no one lives on the surface!
