books 2007: Uncertain Voyage, by Dorothy Gillman
Eh. This is the author who writes the Mrs. Pollifax novels, which I absolutely adore, but this book did not live up to Mrs. P's high standard. I was expecting more international espionage and less whining and wussiness. Everything that happened to the main character happened to get her to realize things about herself and be a confident, real person. Being thrust into a world of international espionage was more of a sideplot. Not that it wasn't well-written. I just like Mrs. Pollifax too much, I guess.
