About the author

Although Julie Gilbert’s masterpiece, The Adventures of Kitty Bob: Alien Warlord Cat, has sadly been out of print since Julie last stapled it together in the fourth grade, she continues to write.

Julie is the author of Cemetery Songs, a young adult novel about adoption, identity and the ghosts of the past. She has written several books for Capstone/Stone Arch Books, including the Dark Waters series and several titles in the Girls Survive series. Her novels consider themes of identity and belonging, along with a healthy dose of fantasy and magic. Her short fiction, which has appeared in numerous publications, explores topics ranging from airport security lines to adoption to antique wreaths made of hair. She is especially committed to diversity in her writing.

Julie is also a librarian. She loves working in libraries because she learns something new every day. Although she has also published extensively in the field of library science, her scholarship tends to have fewer plot twists and interesting characters than her novels and short stories.

The citizens of the Fire Canyon want King Storm to send a group to search for Poseidon’s Trident in the Bahamas. They want to use it against the land people. Storm asks Queen Ani of Ice Canyon to send a group to get it first. But India and her friends head out on their own. India uses the trip to decide if she wants to stay on land or sea.

Footnote: 1) The illustrations are beautiful.

Fave scenes: healing the sick Mer, Nari’s near accident and Evan taking India home.

Definitely, kept my interest to finding out what happened next....Interesting turn of events in this part of the series...So much happens! It gets a bit intense on in a journey India and her family friends have. But she has a lot she thinks bout thru out this story. What will her life be in the next installment, for India? Excited to see....
