About this Book

"You won't drown! Look, I'll come up there and hold your hand ... I'm the boss of this pool and I don't let it drown people." Shelley can't believe she's doing this: teaching a boy with an intellectual disability how to swim. Ben can't even get into the pool - he's terrified of water ... Robin Klein's wonderful novel about learning trust and overcoming prejudice takes the reader on a journey of discovery. Sometimes the most unlikely friendships are the best.
