Title & Author: The Neptune Project by
Polly Holyoke
Impression: Excellent
Recommend: Yes
Favorite Part: I enjoyed the whole novel
so much that I find it hard to select one part as my favorite; however, I
really did love when Nere's mother GLADLY sacrificed herself, proving that she
did love Nere as a daughter, rather than just as an experiment.
Favorite Character: My favorite character was
Dai. I just find him hilarious, with how he teases Nere and reads her mind even
when she doesn't want him to. I also liked the darker aspect that there was to
his personality.
Summary: Nere is a young girl who grew up in a small
coastal village in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian America. She always was
different from those around her, with her weak eyes and lungs. One day, she
finds out from her mother that she is part of the Neptune Project, a group of
young people who were genetically altered as embryos to live in the ocean and
keep humanity alive. When Nere's mother is killed, Nere and her companions must
rely on help from the dolphins Nere has trained to help them reach their
ultimate goal; Safety Cove, a safe haven for the Neptune Project children,
built by Nere's father. Nere and her friends must brave shark-infested waters,
attacks from boats, and other unforeseen dangers presented by the ocean.
