    About this ebook

    Swimming with Sharks
    Rita's times aren't fast enough to swim for the Sharks with her friends. To improve she must learn flip turns, but every time she tries, she gets water up her nose! Jazz has an idea that might be the key to Rita's success, but what if Rita comes in first on a slower team? Would she rather win or be with her friends? Or is there another way for Rita to swim with the Sharks?

    Track Attack
    Jazz loves being on a track team where she sprints fast as a lightning bolt. Her dad loves that she's on the team, too. He's her biggest fan—maybe too big a fan. He argues with the coach, yells at the ref, and screams his head off at every meet. Jazz loves to run, but can she focus on the race while Dad is having a track attack?

    • 3/5
      Rita is elated to qualify for the Dolphins swim team until she realizes all her friends have qualified for the faster Sharks team. Doing flip turns would improve her swim times and move her up to the Sharks, but she fears getting water up her nose. What can she do to overcome her fear, and would it be worth it? A simple story for newly proficient readers but the humor and Rita's inner struggle give it weight.
    • 4/5
      In this book, the girl Rita is struggling about whether she should stay with her friends on the Sharks team being the worst swimmer or she should go to the best Dolphins Team where she could be the best swimmer. Which is more important? Friends or glory? It is a good chapter book for easy readers. They can go through the book easily while learning about what is important in friendship. Recommended for children in grade 2-4.
