What would happen if you received an email invitation by mistake and decided to accept so you could spend a week on a marine research vessel in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Sidney Miller figures it is the perfect way to avoid going to summer camp without her best friend who recently moved to Hong Kong.
It all sounds complicated, and it kind of is. Jeremy "JB" Barnes is spending the summer with his mother on the Oceania II. His mother is a scientist studying the Great Pacific Garage Patch, a huge mass of plastic pollution threatening wildlife. JB is given the job of emailing other famous scientists to invite them to be part of a global summit onboard the ship. He doesn't realize he has made a critical mistake until the day the scientists and some essay winning high school students are arriving to board the Oceania II.
Sidney Miller mistakenly received one of the emails sent by JB. Who knew there was a Dr. Sidney Miller who specialized in marine science? With the help of her Nana, Sidney plans a way to be in Seattle when the invited guests were being boarded on the ship. When JB discovers his error and also Sidney the stowaway, he must think fast to figure out a way to cover up his mistake.
Authors Nora Raleigh Baskin and Gae Polisner teamed up to create this fast-paced, humor-filled ocean adventure. JB and Sidney have an adventure sure to entertain middle grade readers looking for a fun story and also a way to learn about a major pollution problem.
