Great book. I read it while i was living in the Bahamas. Bimini to be exact. So it was cool to read about her adventures over there. I wish there were more cool, fun, historical books like this. Any recos?

I wanted my grandmother to read this book, but I can't find it in stores anywhere!!!! How can we market this book to get it to more stores??
