Bookroo's summary

Gracie LaRoo, the youngest pig on the Water Sprites team, returns to Wilbur Academy to give a speech. Nervous about facing her old principal and a coach who dismisses synchronized swimming, Gracie must overcome her fears. Can she prove her worth to an auditorium full of unruly piglets and remember she's a star? As she stands before the crowd, Gracie's confidence is tested. Will she rise to the occasion or let doubt sink her dreams? Dive into Gracie's world and discover if she can make a splash with her words.

From the publisher

Gracie LaRoo, the youngest pig on the Water Sprites synchronized swimming team, is nervous about giving a speech at the Wilbur Academy, the school she used to attend–she loves her sport, but her old coach does not think that it really measures up to swim racing.
