Chosen by the Sea Renee Pace

Everyone wants to be normal. After a boating accident in the summer, nothing will ever be normal for Gemini again. Pulled under by a rogue wave, Gemini drowned. Beneath the surf she transformed into something...other...but she can't remember what. Since her resurrection she's been haunted by the lure of the sea. The pills her mother forces her to take do nothing to keep the mystical world at bay. No one believes her, not her family or friends. In self-defense against the mocking high school crowd, Gemini dresses as an EMO. If she can't be normal then no one needs to be close to her. A heartthrob of a boy with powers she's afraid of says he's her protector, while the new boy in school, the Captain of the Hockey team, simply wants to be her boyfriend. She's not sure who to trust and things become complicated when her parents are kidnapped. Outside of trying to pass math, Gemini must learn how to embrace the pain of transformation and return to the sea. All this while trying to learn exactly who and what she is. The power of the sea can't be denied.
