"Readers will feel every wave of Tully's emotions as she risks
everything to try to get her mom's attention. A powerful novel in
verse." --Lisa Fipps, author of Printz Honor book Starfish An
impactful, gripping middle grade novel in verse from acclaimed
author Jamie Sumner that spans one girl's marathon swim over twelve
miles and six hours, calling her mom back home with every stroke.
Six hours. One marathon swim. That's all Tully Birch needs to get
her life straightened out. With the help of her best friend, Arch,
Tully braves the waters of Lake Tahoe to break the record for the
youngest person ever to complete the famous "Godfather swim." She
wants to achieve something no one in the world has done, because if
she does, maybe, just maybe, her mom will come back. The swim
starts off well--heart steady, body loose, Arch in charge of snacks
as needed. But for Tully, all that time alone with her thoughts
allows memories to surface. And in the silence of deep waters,
sadness can sink you. When the swim turns dangerous, Tully fights
for her survival. Does she keep going and risk her own safety and
Arch's? Or does she quit to save them both, even if it means giving
up hope that her mother will return?
