Bree moves to Florida, which will provide a better opportunity for her dad, but means she's moving a water-crazy town (and she doesn't know how to swim). This only gets worse when the only open elective is swimming 101! A neighbor helps Bree learn how to swim, and Bree learns the history of black families and swimming. It's a really good book for kids who love realistic fiction stories.
