I liked this book becaue it was about this boy who had'nt met his grandma before. she invites him and his sister to come on cruise with her. They don't want to go but there mom makes them go. when they stay with they are glad that they went.

The worst part of the book was the begining it really was'nt attractive. I had to push my self past the begining then after that it was ok. The begining is boring then it gets tender as you read past it.

I liked the charectars alot Iliked how they acted and it seemed like something me and my sisters would do. I did'nt like the authors form of writing it was boring but I loved his description of the charcters. When a beautiful woman would come up and talk to the boy the author made it seem like she was an angel. I liked the conflict the sister did'nt wan't her grand ma to come ito her life because she was never there for 13 years of her life but her mom made her go that reminds me of my mom,.

I'm not sure if the reviews give this book justice. I mean, I read the back, and I'm like, this sounds dumb, another teen pity problem. But I was pleasantly surprised when I read this how absolutely adorable this book is! The Mr. Peck writes in first person for Drew, and boy, he is some clever and witty! I had to break and laugh out loud for a while every once in a while during the course of the book. The story mainly focuses on Drew and Steph and them discovering what an amazing and fun woman their grandma, Connie, is, and that sometimes the best things in life sneak up on you if you don't watch them. This book was fun, though I was kinda sad by the end, but overall it was a feel good read. Definately sweeps you away to the cruise ship and the magic of travel.
