Blue Autumn Cruise

Sisters in All Seasons #3

by Lisa Williams Kline

It may take a miracle---or a hurricane---to save this family vacation.
Stepsisters Stephanie and Diana undergo another adventure when they embark on a Grand Cayman cruise with their extended family to celebrate their grandmother’s 80th birthday. But the vacation gets complicated with the addition of an eccentric Granny and a video-taping manic cousin. Plus Stephanie’s growing interest in boys makes Diana’s Mood-o-Meter swing like a pendulum. When the girls discover a plot to smuggle a rare, endangered Blue Iguana, Diana’s fury rages to the surface and threatens to ruin the entire birthday party---or unite the clan for a rescue mission.

The third installment of Sisters in All Seasons is full of humor, heartache, friendships, and very real family drama aboard a cruise-ship---where there’s no escaping if you want to run away! Join Stephanie and Diana once again as they tread the wavering waters of step-sisterhood.

This was a pretty good read about two sisters who went on a cruise to celebrate their grandmother's 75th birthday. If you like young adult adventure books set during a cruise, then check this out at your local library and wherever books are sold.

I like this book because it is full of horse, care, adventure, and love. Someone who would like to read this book would be for someone who likes realistic fiction and friendship.

I really liked this book. You can really tell the author put a lot of work into this book. I also like how she’s a Christian author. This book as a realistic fiction book wasn’t really the kind of boom that had unrealistic features. I feel like the author should have told more of the main characters backstory.

My daughter (age 11) and I read this together and we really enjoyed it. Stephanie and Diana had quite the adventure on a cruise ship. The characters are relatable, Diana being my personal favorite. This is the third book in this series that we've read and this one was just as good as the others.

When stepsisters Diana and Stephanie go on a cruise to celebrate their grandma's 80th birthday, they meet up with Stephanie's cousin, Lauren, a video-taping maniac. Stephanie's obsession with boys and Lauren always sticking the camera in Diana's face, is causing Diana's Moronic Mood-o-Meter to be seriously unstable. When Diana discovers a plot to smuggle and sell a rare, and endangered blue iguana, the girls must work together to uncover the criminals.

This book is the best so far. Considering the fact that I'm kinda camera shy, I relate most to Diana, because I get annoyed when a camera is stuck in my face. Nothing really annoyed me other than Lauren's attitude. It was annoying.

This book was enjoyable all the way through. It was never really boring. There was a great ending and it was wrapped up nicely. I'd love to read other books from this author. I'm gonna have to find some more books from this author. The flow was great and it was at a good pace. I totally recommend this great book.

It's really cool to see how the characters develop as the series goes on. (Diana definitely has more changes than Stephanie, but I guess that's to be expected?) This book was also a really fun read because it reminded me of the cruise I went on last year.
