Synopsis:
With
her weak eyes and useless lungs that often leave her gasping for air,
Nere feels more at home swimming with the dolphins her mother studies
than she does hanging out with her classmates. Nere has never understood
why she is so much more comfortable and confident in the water than on
land until the day she learns the shocking truth—she is one of a group
of kids who have been genetically altered to survive in the ocean. These
products of the "Neptune Project" are supposed to build a better future
under the waves, safe from the terrible famines and wars and that rock
the surface world.
But
there are some big challenges ahead of her: no one ever asked Nere if
she wanted to be part of a science experiment; the other Neptune kids
aren't exactly the friendliest bunch, and in order to reach the safe
haven of the new Neptune colony, Nere and her fellow mutates must swim
across hundreds of miles of dangerous ocean, relying on their wits,
their loyal dolphins and one another to evade terrifying undersea
creatures and a government that will stop at nothing to capture the
Neptune kids ... dead or alive.
Fierce battle and daring escapes abound as Nere and her friend race to
safety in this action-packed marine adventure.

About the Author
Polly
Holyoke has been imagining stories since she was in fifth grade. When
she isn’t writing, Polly loves reading, camping, skiing, scuba diving
and hiking in the desert (where she quite stupidly got herself bitten by
a rattlesnake). She lives with three rescue dogs, two spoiled cats and a
nice husband who is tolerant about the piles of books all over their
house. Her debut middlegrade novel, THE NEPTUNE PROJECT, is the story of
a young girl leading a group of genetically altered teens fighting to
survive in the sea. She is thrilled that this novel will be published by
Disney/Hyperion and Puffin Books UK summer, 2013. She thinks the best
part about being an author is going to work in her sweatpants and
getting paid for daydreaming!
