YAOrca Soundings series.
Ria adores her father, so when it appears that he may have defrauded investors and even faked his own death, Ria's world collapses. Running away seems like the only answer, but Ria's adventure turns nightmarish and she must return to face her problems. Although superficial, this topical melodrama is a quick and entertaining read.
