DIVE

Narrator Alexandra Hunter establishes an apathetic voice for 13- year-old Kass, who has switched from public school to a fancy private school in order to join the diving team and have better opportunities for academic success. Kass struggles to fit in at her new school and even starts questioning economic disparity and its causes when she meets 17-year-old Miles, who dumpster dives and scavenges to get by. Hunter's voice softens as Kass starts to mature and connects with friends new and old while also beginning to appreciate her parents. Listeners will cheer Kass on as she works to overcome obstacles and better understand the tough realities of the world in this coming-of-age story.
