This book was very adventures and how I like it. And it showed that girls can do what boys can. I also really enjoyed the bomphie story's. I eally liked Cody for a charachter he seemed to have 2 diffrent persanality's one: can act stupid but funny two:can be serious and get to work when is needed to. I really enjoyed this book also because it is really belivible, like it doesn't have fantisy's of stuff that wouldn't happen. I think you should read this book if u liek to learn stuff about the sea.
Sophia
