Bookroo's summary

Eric Dooley refuses to swim, even as the summer sun blazes and his sister enjoys the pool. Envy and irritation mount as he watches her dog-paddle with ease. When even the babies in the wading pool reject him, Eric faces his fears head-on. Will he transform from the boy who won't swim to the one who never wants to leave the water? Dive into this colorful tale of courage and unexpected joy.
