Students Across the Seven Seas (S.A.S.S.) is a young adult novel series published by Penguin between 2005 and 2010. It is a multi-author series based on the idea of studying abroad. Students Across the Seven Seas (or "S.A.S.S." for short) is the name of the fictional study abroad organization which arranges the visits. Each book centers on an American teenage girl and her experiences studying abroad in a foreign country such as France, Spain, Sweden or Italy. The titles of the books are witty plays on words featuring the country and a common phrase, such as Spain or Shine and Swede Dreams.
