Title: Exactly why did this get a medal?
Product review: Maybe you shouldn't trust my review because I was too bored to read the whole book. I only bought it because I saw it was a book about the ocean. Sophie, the main character, is very unrealistic and quite annoying. Cody, another major character, was pretty realistic and I liked him better. I was disappointed to see there is more of Sophie's diary that Cody's. And like another reviewer said, they're crossing the whole ocean just to visit their grandfather? The author could've done a better job on that. And the way I understand it, this book is mainly about family. I personally consider that to be kind of boring. From what I hear, Creech's other books are better, so read one of them instead.
