Challenger Deep

Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman, 308 pages

"Caden Bosch is on a ship that's headed for the deepest point on Earth: Challenger Deep, the southern part of the Marianas Trench.  Caden Bosch is a brilliant high school student whose friends are starting to notice his odd behavior.  Caden Bosch is designated the ship's artist in residence to document the journey with images.  Caden Bosch pretends to join the school track team but spends his days walking for miles, absorbed by the thoughts in his head.  Caden Bosch is split between his allegiance to the captain and the allure of mutiny.  Caden Bosch is torn."  This was a fascinating and odd book about mental illness, told from the perspective of the mentally ill teen.  I liked it but it did take a while for me to figure out what was really going on.
