About: Caden Bosch lives two lives at once: high school student and sailor on a ship headed for the Marianas Trench, the deepest point of the ocean. Nobody knows about that, but his friends and family are starting to notice his odd behavior after a while. But Caden can't explain the importance of his mission to anyone because it's only real to him - but does that mean it's less real than the experiences of others? Challenger Deep is a quiet yet important ya novel that portrays mental illness in a heartwarming and personal way.
