Macy's Review (Interviewed by Kelli):
1. What drew you to this book?
The cover looked really good and I love cooking contests!
2. What do you think of the cover?
It made me want to read the book. I wanted to find out why they needed a helicopter on a cruise ship.
3.Who was your favorite character?
My favorite character was May. She knew a lot about the ship
because her mom worked in the infirmary that was on the ship. She was
also able to time travel!
4.Who was your least favorite character?
Nurse Joyce. She was stealing bacteria and lying!
5. What was our favorite thing about this book and why?
My favorite part of this book was when May and Clinton solved the mystery of who was causing all the illness on board.
6. What was your least favorite part and why?
I didn't like when a lot of the passengers became ill. It made me
afraid that they would keep passing the illness to others and making
everyone sick.
7.Would you read more books by this author?
Yes, It was a very interesting book. The book used and agency
called GAS that involved time travel. The book was really funny too!
