Customer Reviews

Paragon of Scott O'Dell Books

Scott O'Dell has 2 specialities: headstrong heroines who believe women can do anything men can do and the sea. Alexandra has both. With vivid descriptions of the coral reef and under the sea and Alexandra's adventures with dangerous crew members, logerhead turtles, jeering from the neighbors, her father's death, drug smugglers, and (WORST OF ALL) her mother's reluctance, this book is a definite must read.

Great Book
