Challenger Deep Reviews

Haunting, unforgettable, and life-affirming all at once. * Booklist, starred review *
Clearly written with love, the novel is moving; but it's also funny, with dry, insightful humor. Illustrations by the author's son Brendan, drawn during his own time in the depths of mental illness, haunt the story with scrambling, rambling lines, tremulousness, and intensity. * Horn Book, starred review *
Teens, especially fans of the author's other novels, will enjoy this book. This affecting deep dive into the mind of a schizophrenic will captivate readers, engender empathy for those with mental illnesses, and offer much fodder for discussion. * School Library Journal, starred review *
A powerful collaboration...[Caden's] story turns symptoms into lived reality in ways readers won't easily forget. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
Shusterman does a masterful job...The intensity of living inside Caden's mind makes this a wrenching read. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) *
