Sink or Swim by Veronica Agarwal, Lee Durfey-Lavoie
5.0
challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

After being benched for an entire swim season, Ty is feeling all types of ways about getting back in the water. Plagued with new body image struggles, his confidence plummets. We watch as he navigates summer camp where everyone expects certain things of him, but his anxiety and newfound eating disorder hold him back every time, impacting the way he shows up in his friendships. Readers experience Ty’s struggles with mental health, body dysmorphia, and queerness (though queerness is widely accepted and less of an actual issue throughout this story).
