    About this audiobook

    Acclaimed author Jane Breskin Zalben delivers a poignant coming-of-age story about two former friends who reconnect during the first year of middle school. Daniel and Krista drift apart when Krista develops a crush on Daniel's chief swim team rival. And then an allergic reaction during a routine dental procedure leaves Daniel paralyzed. But after Krista volunteers to help Daniel swim again and the two join forces in a school tadpole project, a remarkable series of emotionally moving events begins to unfold.
