I just finished reading it. While reading I had to wonder if it was based on anything about the Rosetta Stone. It was an adventerous, and great book. Even though Clio talks about her best friend Jackson(that's a girl!), Clio never actually talks to her in the book, I thought that was sorta weird you know sense it's her best friend and all, I thought she would have at least had a conversation with her.

Parents need to know that there isn't too much to worry about here beyond some kissing and underage drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how authors research stories. For this book, for example, the character knows how to scuba dive and recounts her dive through a shipwreck. The author obviously had to know about diving in order to make that believable. Can you think of other books you've read that have showcased this kind of expertise? What are some ways authors can do research? How does this research enrich a story?
