I began reading the Undertow Trilogy by Michael Buckley when it was first released and was hooked. I put myself on the wait list at my library back home for the final installment, Heart of the Storm, before it was even released. Undertow is a dystopian trilogy about a teenager named Lyric Walker who observes the arrival of a race of sea creatures, the Alpha, on the beach near her home in Coney Island, NY. Though the Alpha are initially considered the enemy and ostracized by society, it turns out there is something much worse in the water. I loved this trilogy! There is non-stop action, suspense, a bit of romance, and great parallels to be drawn between the storyline and current/past world events; an all around good read!
The entire Undertow Trilogy is coming to your library soon. You can bet it will be on Mrs. Doyle's "Books I Loved" shelf!
