The thought of swimming makes Bree more than a little queasy, yet she’s forced to dive headfirst into one of her greatest fears. Lucky for her, Etta, an elderly occupant of her apartment building and former swim team captain, is willing to help.\nWith Etta’s training and a lot of hard work, Bree suddenly finds her swim-crazed community counting on her to turn the school’s failing team around. But that’s easier said than done, especially when their rival, the prestigious Holyoke Prep, has everything they need to leave the Mighty Manatees in their wake.\nCan Bree defy the odds and guide her team to a state championship, or have the Manatees swum their last lap—for good?\nPraise for SWIM TEAM:\nCoretta Scott King Illustrator Honor\nNational Book Award Longlist\nKirkus Best Book of the Year\nHarvey Award Best Children’s or Young Adult Book Nominee\nChildren's Book Council's Summer 2025 Showcase: An Ocean of Stories Pick\n“A revelation!
