This was a lovely book that was very cute.

Clio is forced to give up her plans for a perfect summer working with her art-store crush, to accompany her eccentric father on a mysterious boat expedition in the Mediterranean. Whilst this trip sounds kind of amazing to me (did I mention there are shipwrecks, and a cute-nerdy-academic boy involved?) Clio is unimpressed at all the secrecy and the seclusion on-board and is determined to cut her stay short. Girl at Sea is a light-hearted read and has a fun mix of history and hijinks on the high-seas, though I did wish the relationship between Clio and her father had been explored in greater depth.
