Imagine having your wildest dreams come true, everything fictional becomes non-fiction, but with that, so do your fears. This is the new life of Nico, Emma, Tyler, and Opal when they accidentally discover an unknown island with a dark (literally!) secret. The four friends, intrigued by the island, make it their mission to understand the impossible. But, fun soon turns to survival as they begin to notice the danger of it all. Can they survive their greatest fears? And can they save their beloved town from their own "darkness"?
The Darkdeep

Book 1 of 3 in the
The DarkDeep Book Series
When a bullying incident sends twelve year-old Nico Holland over the edge of a cliff into the icy waters of Still Cove, where no one ever goes, friends Tyler and Ella--and even “cool kid” Opal--rush to his rescue . . . only to discover an island hidden in the swirling mists below.
Shrouded by dense trees and murky tides, the island appears uninhabited, although the kids can't quite shake the feeling that something about it is off. Their suspicions grow when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat with an array of curiosities inside: odd-looking weapons, unnerving portraits, maps to places they've never heard of, and a glass jar containing something completely unidentifiable.
As the group delves deeper into the unknown, their discoveries--and their lives--begin to intertwine in weird and creepy ways. Something ancient has awakened . . . and it knows their wishes and dreams--and their darkest, most terrible secrets. Do they have what it takes to face the shadowy things that lurk within their own hearts?
Told from Nico's and Opal's alternating points of view, this tale from bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs kicks off a suspenseful and spooky new series, perfect for fans of Stranger Things.

it is a good book!
The Darkdeep is a book about these kids who go to this haunted place called “Still Cove” where they fall into this large pit which contains fog and this murky water swirling around an island. They discover all these mysteries about this place and it's really fun to find out what they learn next. I like the book because it is fun and kind of spooky. It is a fifth to eighth grade r eading level. I would recommend this book to anyone who is into mystery or horror books
