Eliza's dad works for the EPA in Washington, D.C. His is a highly respected position, which means Eliza's behavior plays a factor in his profile. As a result, she's been the perfect daughter, but when an opportunity arises for an exchange program, she's thrilled to be on her own Down Under.
Billie, on the other hand, can't wait to become involved with the political aspects of saving the environment. She's taken a hands-on approach in the past, but now she can actually make a difference.
Both girls couldn't be happier about the exchange, but things don't turn out as planned. Eliza gets herself into hot water breaking the rules for a boy, while Billie grows frustrated with the time it takes to make anything happen in the political world. Before she knows it, she's headed for trouble.
Will the time in different countries change the girls' outlook on life and jeopardize their place in the hosting home?
UP OVER DOWN UNDER is part of the S.A.S.S. series, mostly written by different authors and very fun reads. As a bonus book - two stories in one - this is double the fun. I loved how the stories intertwine because it deepens the plot. I always enjoy exploring new countries, new friendships, new families, and new boys.
