Funny, but not that great.By None of your business!Maureen Johnson is funny, and she writes insanity like no one else (not insanity as in mentally ill, but insanity as in wild and unpredictable). This is a very short, quick read, with teen angst, conflict between parents and child, secrets and falling in love.It does not really stand out in a sea of similar novels, but it you like Maureen Johnson's kind of funny you'd be better off with this than something else by someone else. She also portrays the main character's frustration really well.

  2. It felt like running into a wall over and over again or being trapped in a room with no way out (which is sort of what this is too). Funny, but otherwise quite unremarkable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A clean, refreshing adventure!By DianeThe story keeps you interested and suddenly finding yourself googling words and images you never imagined existed. Excellent summer read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Ehhhh....By CustomerI love Maureen Johnson, especially the Key to the Golden Firebird, but this one was kind of... Well it was okay. The writing is great, I mean, I could picture the Sea Butterfly in my head, but I felt like the characters were a little static. The scenarios are unrealistic and you'll be halfway reading wondering when something is going to happen. I expected an adventure novel but it's more of a teenage drama thing... It's okay. Sometimes you have to get lost . . .The Girl: Clio Ford, seventeen, wants to spend the summer smooching her art-store crush, not stuck on a boat in the Mediterranean. At least she'll get a killer tan.The Mission: Survive her father's crazy antics. Oh, and also find some missing underwater treasure that could unlock the secrets of civilization.The Crew: Dad's wacky best friend Martin, his bizarre research partner Julia, her voluptuous daughter Elsa . . . and then there's Aidan, Julia's incredibly attractive, incredibly arrogant assistant.What's going on behind Aidan's intellectual, intensely green eyes, anyway?As Clio sails into uncharted territory she unveils secrets that have the power to change history. But her most surprising discovery is that there's something deeper and more cryptic than the seaher own heart.. . . to find what you're looking for From School Library JournalGrade 9 UpClio Ford, 17, is an artist who has just landed a job at an art store that puts her right in the line of sight of her crush. Within minutes of landing this primo job, she learns that her mother has been awarded a fellowship that involves moving to Kansas for the summer; Clio will have to live with her father, whom she considers immature and selfish, on a yacht in Italy. Within pages, Clio is off on an excursion that involves her father (who is really working hard to make things right), his new girlfriend (an archaeology professor on a hunt), his girlfriend's daughter, a grad assistant, and her father's best friend. There is a secret shrouding this adventure. Through old letters that are found and snippets of conversation, readers figure out that the group is looking for something akin to the Rosetta Stone. Johnson does a great job of peppering enough interesting information and planting enough clues to keep the story moving along. Purchase for readers who enjoy lighthearted mystery and intrigue.Emily Garrett, Armstrong Elementary School, Sachse, TX Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From BooklistWho wouldn't want to spend the summer cruising the Mediterranean? Seventeen-year- old Clio, for one. It will ruin her plan to turn her crush into her boyfriend, and she'll be stuck with her dad. Things head downhill from the start of the cruise: her dad's new girlfriend is along; Clio must share a cabin with Elsa, the girlfriend's daughter; she's not allowed to use the Internet or a telephone; and no one will tell her the real purpose of the trip. Clio and Elsa quickly become friends, and eventually Clio determines that the trip has something to do with undersea archaeology. Then, Clio is knocked off guard by her attraction to an onboard research assistant. A whirlwind of mystery and action, friendship and romance, this is a perfect summer read for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fans.
