Dive into the paperback of this middle-grade novel about competitive swimming, changing friendships, and finding your place



Thirteen-year-old Annabelle struggles in school, no matter how hard she
tries. But as soon as she dives into the pool, she’s unstoppable. She’s
the fastest girl on the middle school swim team, and when she’s asked
to join the high school team over the summer, everything changes.
Suddenly, she’s got new friends, and a high school boy starts treating
her like she’s somebody special—and Annabelle thinks she’ll finally
stand out in a good way. She’ll do anything to fit in and help the team
make it to the Labor Day Invitational, even if it means blowing off her
old friends. But after a prank goes wrong, Annabelle is abandoned by the
older boy and can’t swim. Who is she without the one thing she’s good
at? Heartwarming and relatable, Up for Air is a story about where we find our self-worth.
