The Deep Enders
The Deep Enders tells the story of a teenager and his experiences during the second world war. Murph Turner is just sixteen when the Pearl Harbor bombing happens. Keen to keep him safe, Murph’s mom sends him to Broome to stay with his father.

While he is heartbroken to be torn from his mom, Murphy has no choice but to go. He must be evacuated as his mother stays behind to nurse the injured at a big hospital.

The plan is that his mom would join him and his dad as soon as possible. From Hawaii to Darwin, Murph spends four weeks at sea. He then takes a three-day bus ride from Darwin to the little town on the Australian coast where his father is based.

By the time Murph meets his father, he is hungry, tired, and hot. Adjusting to the Australian weather is quite a challenge, not to mention that everything about his new home seems bizarre. Fortunately, Murph quickly befriends an Aboriginal boy who helps him get over his loneliness.
Banjo is fun and naughty, and soon, Murph finds himself joining in on his adventures.

Things take an unexpected yet more exciting turn when Murph meets Micki, a beautiful girl who will quickly become the center of his attention. Micki comes with her fair share of issues, one of them being that she is on the run from the authorities.

Now three teenagers, all running from their past, have to learn how to cope with life as war clouds continue to gather and uncertainty looms on their lives. When they are thrown into a deadly conspiracy, there is no telling how much damage this could cause to those they love. Living close to a military airbase comes with its challenges, and the trio gets in trouble for the wrong reasons.

While there are enough historical details in this book, the story is mainly about friendship.
Thanks to the friendship these three teenagers share, all the bad things happening around them seem to disappear. Despite their flaws, these kids are lovable, and it is easy to sympathize with them.

The Deep Enders is a fast-paced and gripping historical fiction story filled with mystery and suspense.
It is also a story about friendship and how powerful it is. At a time where racial injustice, war, and panic are the norm, it is amazing that the main characters find comfort in the friendships that they develop within such a short time.
This book is ideal for middle schoolers as they can easily identify with the main characters and their struggles. While it touches on war, violence, and death, the information is not graphic. It is also an ideal read for anyone looking to read about WWII from an Australian’s point of view.
