Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan. I've read most of Riordan's other books (really need to catch up on the last few Percy Jackson related books), and I'm always head over heels for the way he takes existing myth and recasts it into a fun story that still plumbs the depths of the source material. This one is essentially "unknown to the wider world, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was based on actual events; what is the fall out of that today?" I've never read 20,000 Leagues, but I might have to do so after I finish this.
