The more I read about Elena Standish, the more envious of her life I become.

In this book, she sets off on yet another adventure, meeting new family members and people. On what should be a vacation, Elena faces new challenges with high confidence. Her wit, intelligence and stubbornness get her through, but not without a little emotional jostling. 

Is her maternal grandfather who she thinks he is? What about his friends? With Europe on the brink of war, why is America deciding to be so stubborn about doing the right thing?
