13-year-old Skyler is spending the summer in Italy! Her mother is working there, and Skyler has been given a summer internship with the same company to write blogs about her impressions of Venice. Writing has never been a strength of hers, and while the sightseeing and meeting people is fun, she'd rather email her best friend Ella about Logan the attractive Australian intern.

A little world travel, a little social media, some romance, some conflict plus family drama! What more could you want in a light teen read? I was able to spot the resolution right away, but I'm an english teacher, a teen would be pleasantly surprised with the ending.  Upper elementary would also appreciate this fun tour of Venice.
