Sammy Keyes And the Killer Cruise (2013)
“Worrying about Kip.
And it kept creeping back into my mind that if it was Grams who’d gone missing, I’d be going crazy trying to find her.
Plus, maybe my mother never called me a sneaky punk kid, but I do know what it’s like to think that your mother never wanted you.
So when everyone’s finally ready to go, I’m the one who winds up lagging behind.

“We are not not going ashore because of Kensingtons,” Marissa says, and, boy, does she look serious.
“I know,” I tell her. “I just feel really bad.”
We all stand on the stairs for a minute until Darren finally says, “So what do you want to do about it?”
I give a stupid little shrug, and then Marko pipes up with, “I say we take the Kipster with us.”
“No!” Marissa cries. “The two of them will spend the whole time with that stupid code and a calculator and not want to do anything!”MoreLess
