I really enjoyed One Foot Ashore.

This book is about a girl, Maria and how she got separated from her sister and escaped to Amsterdam. I learnded a couple of words in Portuguese. I really liked this book because it is adventurous. I recommend this book to any one who loves adventures. It is a great book.
