  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Sometimes you have to get lost. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The Girl: Clio, seventeen, wants to spend the summer smooching her art-store crush, not stuck on a boat in the Mediterranean. At least she'll get a killer tan. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The Mission: Survive her father's annoying antics. Oh, also find some underwater treasure that could be the missing link to a long-lost civilization. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The Crew: Dad's absentminded best friend Martin, his scary girlfriend Julia, her voluptuous daughter Elsa . . . and then there's Aidan, Julia's incredibly attractive, incredibly arrogant research assistant. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; What's going on behind Aidan's intellectual, intensely green eyes, anyway? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; As Clio sails into uncharted territory she unveils secrets that have the power to change history. But her most surprising discovery is that there's something deeper and more mysterious than the sea&amp;#8212;her own heart. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

I’ve noticed a pattern with Maureen Johnson’s books: Find a picture of a pretty, slim girl (with no face). Put her in tight pants and a tank top. Add in a few pieces of plot-related decorative flourishes. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46143069">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Horrible cover! With all the talk about her &quot;artistic&quot; dress and her crazy tattoo, why do we get this generic hottie cover.  With no eyes, too! <br/>It's a pretty cute story but not really necessary. Kind of a trifle. I'm interested to read more of her work to see if this is standard.

    <body><![CDATA[The only reason I even picked up <strong>Girl At Sea</strong> was because A) I recognized the author's name from 13 Little Blue Envelopes and B) I wanted to walk out of the library with something.  So I picked this up.<br/><br/>At first, I didn't really like it.  Clio seemed like this bratty 17-year-old who has to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51834236">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yay!  I love this author.  She had a great short story in the &quot;Let it Snow&quot; compilation with John Green and Lauren Myracle.  Real characters, engaging story, not-too-cheesy dialogue.  <br/><br/>Clio's parents are divorced, and she lives with her mother.  She has a dream summer vacation a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61184374">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A friend of mine asked me to read this so she'd have someone to talk to about it and so I did. My second Maureen Johnson book was far from disappointing, unlike much of the story for Clio, our main character. Clio's parents are divorced and her mom goes to Kansas with her boyfriend, leaving Clio in ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59730822">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So far this has been my favourite Maureen Johnson read. I liked the whole going off to sea to find some buried treasure plot. Especially since I think everybody wants to find buried treasure somewhere.<br/><br/>It was an easy enjoyable read, that I wouldn't mind going through all over again.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40487489">more...</a>]]></body>
