Annotation: Marina goes on a huge field trip around the Bahamas! She interacts with several marine animals and meets new friends aboard including a cute Australian boy.

Summary: Marina has enrolled into S.A.S.S., or Students Across the Seven Seas and has been accepted into the program. She goes on an adventure in the Bahamas, the Bay Islands, and the Dominican Republic. In each destination, she interacts with dolphins, sea turtles, and whale sharks. During her journey she struggles with her relationship with her boyfriend back at her home in Vermont while falling in love with an Australian student aboard S.A.S.S.

Critique: This is a great book because it takes you on a journey through words. They really described the places well. Marina was my favorite character because she really enjoyed working with the animals and she seemed down to earth and not stuck up like some girls in the program.

Biography: Aimee Ferris spent five sun-soaked years in the Caribbean, where she trained dolphins, swam with whale sharks, transplanted sea turtle eggs, did well over a thousand SCUBA dives… and only fell overboard one. Visit her at
