Rach –
I loved this book. Fig has decided that for once she is going to make her own decisions rather than doing exactly what her mother tells her so this year she’s going to swim the world, one minor problem is that Fig cannot actually swim.
A novel full of adventure, determination and self discovery. A novel that tells us anything is possible, follow your dreams but don’t forget the importance of family, they are only ever looking out for those they love. Perfect for 10+
