Julia loves swimming more than anything. When she's not helping her parents at their restaurant, she's at swim practice with the Vipers. She's most excited for the personal best day when she can beat her record. One day, while trying to dive to the bottom of the deep end, Julia feels a pain in her ear. It's an ear infection, which means she has to take a break from swimming. Julia will do everything she can to get back in the pool.
This is a great book with an important lesson about dealing with disappointment. We see many difficult things such has having parent's struggling to make ends meet and learning to be flexible when it's the last thing you want to do. This is a good intermediate chapter book for readers who are starting to read books with more words and less pictures.
