Book details

Book description

Alice-Miranda is set for a luxurious cruise aboard the royal yacht Octavia , where the wedding of Aunt Charlotte and the famous actor Lawrence Ridley will be taking place. All her family and lots of her friends will be there! But it's not just the rumours of a jewel thief on board giving Alice-Miranda one of her strange feelings. Why does the ship's doctor look so familiar? And who is the shy blond boy hiding in one of the suites? Can Alice-Miranda solve the mystery in time for the celebrations? Jacqueline Harvey has spent her working life teaching in girls' boarding schools. She's never cruised aboard the Octavia but she has come across quite a few girls who remind her a little of Alice-Miranda. She was awarded the Honour Book in the 2006 Australian CBC Awards for her first picture book, The Sound of the Sea , and she has written several stories about Alice-Miranda, as well as a new heroine, Clementine Rose. She is currently working on Alice-Miranda's next adventure.
