Shortly after her grandfather's death, Mary Margaret takes his place on a Greek Island cruise with her grandmother. On the trip, Mary and her grandmother cope with their grief, and Mary develops a stronger sense of self. This short, thoughtful novel, written as Mary's travel diary, is entertaining and features a believable eleven-year-old protagonist who fluctuates between childlike observations and brief moments of insight.
