Swimming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780307454614)

Born in a landlocked town in the center of Kansas, Pip is tall, flat, smart, funny, and supernaturally buoyant. On land, she has her share of troubles: an agoraphobic mother, a lost father, and a school full of nuns who just want her to sit still. But in the water, Pip is unstoppable. Swimming her way from a small Midwestern team to the Barcelona Olympics, Pip's journey is the story of a young girl with an unsinkable spirit, struggling to stay afloat in the only way she can.
