SHIP OUT OF LUCK (Antsy Bonano series #3), by Neal Shusterman

In honor of Old Man Crawley's 80th birthday, Antsy's family is invited to go cruising with him and Lexie on the world's biggest cruise ship: "The Plethora of the Deep" of the Caribbean Viking line. It's not long till a life of leisure gives way to a life of crime as Antsy meets Tilde, a stowaway with a really big secret, and decides to help her. It's Antsy and Tilde, Lexie and Gustav, and old man Crawley vs. all of them in the latest update to the Antsy Bonano series.

June Cleaver’s ratings: Language PG; Nudity G; Sexual Content PG; Violence G; Substance Abuse PG; Magic & the Occult G; GLBT Content PG; Adult Themes PG (Howie thinks he might be gay); overall rating PG.

Neal Shusterman comments in the acknowledgements that this is his favorite of the Antsy books. Can't say that I agree…I liked both the other ones better than SOL. Mostly because those two had more of a sound of a teenage kid's voice, where this was more like a middle-aged man trying to sound like a wise guy from Brooklyn. Although maybe that's just me. Still. Antsy turned sixteen and it just ain't the same. :P
