Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday || Underwater YA Science Fiction Read Aloud @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
June 24, 2022 - For the first time ever in her year and a half of posting First Chapter Friday videos, word nerd Amanda Zieba will be reading her very own YA science fiction book, Breaking the Surface. High School Musical meets Finding Nemo with an environmental focus in this oceanic adventure.
Book Blurb: When Flynn gets the chance to leave her home on the ocean floor to spend some time on the surface, she has a long list of things to do. Things like: make friends, eat a cheeseburger, go to the beach, shop, go on a date and get her driver's license. She didn't really expect "reverse a science experiment gone wrong" or "save family from impending doom" to show up on the list. But now that they have, what will she do? This book is author Amanda Zieba's young adult debut. It is an original dystopian that promises to deliver readers with drama and adventure. Join Flynn as she navigates the perils of high school and as she figures out how to define "home".
