Clio Ford has lived an interesting life. She became famous at age 12. Her parents are divorced. And she has a tattoo, just
to name a few things.

Now, forced to spend a summer with her insane father and his research team on a boat on the Mediterranean Sea, she just
might go mad. Especially since she knows they're looking for something...something they refuse to tell Clio anything about.

GIRL AT SEA is simply fantastic. As usual with all of Maureen Johnson's books, the plot is unique and nothing like
anything you'll find in most other teen books these days. Clio is lively, fun, adventurous, and witty.

So if you care to read about paper hats, crazy parents, big boats, weird tattoos, lost artifacts, romance, and LOTS of
jellyfish, what are you waiting for? Join in on all the nautical fun! Maureen Johnson will leave you desperate for more.
