520    "Echoing novels like Karen Russell's Swamplandia! and 
       Carol Rifka Brunt's Tell the Wolves I'm Home, Alexandra 
       Teague's lighthearted coming-of-age debut is perfect for 
       anyone who's navigated the strange seas of adolescence-and
       lived to tell the tale. A.Z. McKinney is on the shores of 
       greatness. Now all she needs is a boat. When the Sea of 
       Santiago appeared overnight in a cow pasture in Arkansas, 
       it seemed, to some, a religious miracle. But to high 
       school sophomore A.Z. McKinney, it's marked her chance to 
       make history-as its first oceanographer. All she needs is 
       to get out on the water. Her plan is easier said than done,
       considering the Sea's eccentric owner is only interested 
       in its use as a tourist destination for beachgoers and 
       devout pilgrims. Still, A.Z. is determined to uncover the 
       secrets of the Sea-even if it means smuggling saline 
       samples in her bathing suit. Yet when a cute, conceptual 
       artist named Kristoff moves to town, A.Z. realizes she may
       have found a first mate. Together, they make a plan to 
       build a boat and study the Sea in secret. But from 
       fighting with her best friend to searching for a tourist-
       terrorizing alligator (that may or may not be a crocodile),
       distractions are everywhere. Soon, A.Z.'s dreams are in 
       danger of being dashed upon the shore of Mud Beach. With 
       her self-determined oceanic destiny on the line, A.Z. 
       finds herself at odds with everything she thought she knew
       about life, love, and the Sea. To get what she wants, 
       she'll have to decide whether to sink or float. But which 
       one comes first?"--|cProvided by publisher.
