Sandy, a bit. When she first arrives on the ferry, she makes a friend who basically tells her all the gossip about the place she's going to work. Then when she runs away from the island, she stows away on the same ferry. Before that, when she was a child, her uncle brings her from Iceland on a boat. She stays up on the boat waiting for her father to surface (he died at sea), so it's pretty traumatic for her when she has to leave the boat. I think that's it - if it doesn't work I'll find another book. :)

Katy, would this work? Maine: The Seasons. Essays and pictures of Maine.

Katy, would a photography book in general work for this? All my vacations are spent hunting for the perfect photo.

Sandy, would The Flight of Gemma Hardy work for this? There's quite a lot of back and forth on ferries and boats, but none of it is in the description...

Donna Jo wrote: "I just finished Singing the Dogstar Blues for another task, but it would work for option 1, as it heavily features an alien.
It would also work for YA options or 15.3 Option 1.
I am using it for 1..."

Donna Jo, yes it would! It sounds very interesting... :) I'll add it up in the first post as well...

Thanks"

Keltie Lee wrote: "Great task!

I just wanted to check that a NHL hockey player as a main character would work for option 3."

If there is a hockey game as part of the plot, then yes - that would work.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for an amazing book that'd work for B (surviving a plane crash), Beauty Queens is absolutely wonde..."
