Description
Twins Annalie and Will Wallace return in this action-packed sequel to the stunning cli-fi novel The Flooded Earth
It’s been months since their father, Spinner, disappeared after the Admiralty tore apart his workshop and sent him into hiding, but Annalie and Will are determined to find him, whatever the cost. With the help of new friends Essie and Pod (and talking parrot, Graham), the siblings use the decoded clues Spinner left behind to track his movements, sailing around the world in search of his old scientific colleagues.
But the Admiralty is still in hot pursuit, and the sea might be the biggest threat of all. As the children battle massive storms, menacing marines, and pirates out to steal anything (and anyone) they can, the twins and their friends discover new levels of strength, determination, and ingenuity within themselves. They also begin to wonder if they’ll ever catch up to Spinner, or if the dangers they encounter along the way will seal their fates first.
The Castle in the Sea is the sequel to the 2019 Green Earth Award-winning novel The Flooded Earth

Advance Praise
"Themes of friendship and family anchor the story as the children bond and danger increases. As in the first book, this sequel offers commentary on the refugee crisis, often using humor to alleviate the tense material, but McConnochie also delivers higher stakes, daring escapes, wild storms, and pirate battles in a second adventure sure to please young thrill-seekers." - Booklist Online
"This equally fast-paced, action-driven sequel to The Flooded Earth (rev. 3/19), set in a post-climate-change society, begins three weeks after twins Will and Annalie, Essie, Pod, and parrot Graham escaped Little Lang Lang Island—and brings readers into the action almost immediately with a storm at sea. ...The book also begins to explore the scientific and ethical challenges of climate-altering technology, leaving plenty of questions to be resolved in the next volume." - The Horn Book
"A satisfying, high-stakes sequel. Recommended for middle grade collections that own the first novel." - School Library Journal
