The Problem with Paradise

(4) YA Forced to spend the summer on a remote Caribbean island while her father studies turtles, Casey, furious at being separated from her social life, nevertheless develops an island romance and proves her leadership skills in a crisis. Though it's hard to like a protagonist who complains about a chance-of-a-lifetime vacation, the classic coming-of-age themes are well developed and secondary characters add spice.
