by Maureen JohnsonSummary: Seventeen year old Clio wants nothing more than to spend the summer flirting with, and hopefully dating, the cute guy who works with her at an art store. But her parents ruin all the fun when her mom has to move to Kansas for work for the entire summer, meaning Clio has to live with her dad. He is going on a research cruise in the Mediterranean, and (poor Clio, boo hoo!) has to go with him. The cruise's purpose is a mystery, but involves something ancient and sunken, and her dad's research assistant provides a perfect sparring partner for the bitter and angry Clio. Oh, wait... he's also kind of cute...
My thoughts: Once again: YAY Maureen Johnson! She takes chick lit to a whole new level. For one thing, she's hilarious! (Check out her blog--the link is to the right!) Her books are easy to read, but there's nothing light about them. That's a hard balance, but Johnson does it perfectly every time.
